José Luis Martí Soler (born 28 April 1975) is a Spanish retired professional footballer, and the current manager of CD Tenerife. A central midfielder, he was known for his excellent tactical awareness.

He amassed La Liga totals of 336 games and eight goals over the course of 13 seasons, representing in the competition Mallorca (two spells), Tenerife and Sevilla. He won five major titles with the latter, including two UEFA Cups.

Martí was born in Palma, Majorca. Having starting playing professionally with hometown's RCD Mallorca, making his first-team debuts at the age of already 25 in the 1999–2000 season (one game, one minute against Deportivo Alavés), he switched the following campaign to the Canary Islands, joining CD Tenerife in the second division and being instrumental in the team's promotion to La Liga.

After Tenerife's top level relegation, Martí played one more season with the club, then returned to the top flight as he joined Sevilla FC in July 2003, going on to become a regular in the Andalusia side's exploits in the subsequent years – for instance, as they won back-to-back UEFA Cups, he appeared in 24 matches combined scoring two goals, both through penalties.
