Ariel Martínez (born 9 May 1986) is a Cuban footballer, who currently plays as a striker for American club Miami FC.
Martínez made his debut for Cuba in a September 2006 Gold Cup qualification match against the Turks and Caicos Islands. He was a squad member at the 2007 Gold Cup Finals.
On 17 July 2015, it was confirmed that Martinez had defected to the United States following Cuba's victory over Guatemala in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Following his defection Martínez signed with United Soccer League club Charleston Battery, but was not cleared to play until late in the season due to issues with the processing of his documentation and work permit. Martínez made his only appearance for Charleston in a playoff loss to Louisville City before leaving the club at the end of 2015.
In March 2016, Martínez signed for Miami FC.
