Paula Martí Zambrano (born 29 January 1980) is a professional golfer from Spain. She used to be a member of the LPGA Tour and now plays the Ladies European Tour.

Martí was born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. As an amateur, she was National Spanish Champion in 1996 and a member of the European Junior Ryder Cup teams of 1995 and 1997. She moved to the United States in 1998, and graduated from Saddlebrook Prep School and the Arnold Palmer Golf Academy. She was 1998 AJGA All-American.

Martí attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, United States, where she played for the Florida Gators women's golf team in 2000 and was recognized as a second-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection. She turned professional in 2000, starting her professional career on the Ladies European Tour in 2001.

She had two victories in her rookie season, winning the Ladies Italian Open and Ladies British Masters.

In 2002 Marti won the EDUCOM ALPG Players' Championship, came second at the British Women's Open and topped the money list on the Ladies European Tour. She was a member of the 2002 European Solheim Cup Team and was awarded the Spanish Royal Order of Merit for Sports in the bronze category.

At the end of 2002, she tied for 31st at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament to earn non-exempt status for the 2003 LPGA season. During 2003–2005 her best LPGA Tour finish was a tie for sixth at the Franklin American Mortgage Championship. She teamed with Ana Belen Sánchez to represent Spain at the inaugural Women's World Cup of Golf in 2005 and teamed with Marta Prieto in the 2006 Women's World Cup of Golf. She did not play on the LPGA in 2006 due to the birth to her first child, son Izan Corretja.
