Martín Rodríguez (Latin American Spanish: [maɾˈtin roˈðɾiɣes]; born 18 December 1969) is a former professional tennis player from Argentina. Rodríguez turned professional in 1991. He reached his career-high singles ranking when he became World Number 71 on June 14, 1999. On 25 October 2004, he reached his career-high doubles rank, when he became World Number 15.

Rodríguez's coach was Horacio de la Peña. He currently resides in Buenos Aires.

After testing positive for an excessive amount of caffeine, Rodríguez forfeited prize money and ranking points from the 2002 ATP tournament in Basel.

Rodríguez is brother-in-law to Chilean former tennis player Jaime Fillol Jr., son-in-law of Jaime Fillol and, through his wife, is an uncle of Nicolás Jarry.
