Martin Pušić (born 24 October 1987) is an Austrian footballer of Croatian origin who currently plays as a striker for Sparta Rotterdam, on loan from FC Midtjylland, in the Dutch Eredivisie.

Pušić began his career in the youth team of Austria Wien. In 2004, he crossed the city to join First Vienna FC, with whom he made his professional debut in 2005, in the Austrian Regional League. His performance attracted attention from higher divisions, and in 2007 he made the switch to SK Schwadorf in the First League, the second tier of the Austrian pyramid.

In the summer of 2008 SK Schwadorf and VfB Admira Wacker Mödling merged to form the new FC Admira Wacker Mödling, and Pušić became a regular player on their left wing. In 2008/9 he managed 24 league appearances, scoring 7 goals. The team also reached the 2009 Austrian Cup Final, which they lost 3–1 to the club where he began his career Austria Wien.

On 8 August 2010, he agreed a contract taking him to SC Rheindorf Altach, initially for only half a season, but with an option to take him through to the end of the 2010/11 season.

In July 2011, he began a trial with English Championship team Hull City. He played his first game for the club on 27 July 2011; a 3–1 win over Yorkshire rivals Bradford City, Pusic scored the final goal of the match. The club website announced on 9 August 2011 that he has signed a deal until the end of the 2011–12 season. He went on to make his debút on the same day in a 2–0 loss at home to Macclesfield Town in the League Cup First Round tie. He made his league debut on 1 October 2011 at the KC Stadium in the 2–1 win against Cardiff City. After injuries stalled his progression, Pušić was released from his contract at the KC Stadium on 9 January 2012.
