Héctor David Martínez (born 21 January 1998) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami CF, on loan from River Plate. Born in Argentina, he plays for the Paraguay national team.

Club career

Martínez's career started with River Plate, initially featuring for their youth system; notably at the 2016 U-20 Copa Libertadores, though only as an unused substitute on three occasions.

Across the next twelve months, the centre-back made twenty league appearances and scored two goals; against Godoy Cruz and Patronato. He also made appearances in the Copa Argentina and Copa Libertadores. Defensa extended his loan in April 2020, prior to signing him permanently in the succeeding August.

Born in Argentina, Martínez is of Paraguayan descent through his mother. Martínez represented the Argentina U17s at both the 2015 South American U-17 Championship and 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup; winning six caps. He was called up to represent the senior Paraguay national team in June 2021. He debuted with Paraguay in a 3–1 2021 Copa América win over Bolivia on 14 June 2021.
