Shelton Martis (born 29 November 1982) is a Curaçaoan footballer who plays as a defender for Dutch club SteDoCo.
He began his career at Excelsior and FC Eindhoven in the Dutch Eerste Divisie before spending a season at Darlington.

Martis then signed for West Bromwich Albion for £50,000 and became the first Curaçaoan to play in the Premier League. After three-and-a-half years at Doncaster Rovers, and a season at Osotspa Saraburi in the Thai Premier League, he returned to the Netherlands with SteDoCo.
