Antonio "Chivas" Martínez (born July 9, 1977 in Yahualica, Jalisco) is a Mexican-American soccer player who played midfielder for C.D. Chivas USA of Major League Soccer.
Nicknamed "Chivas" for his devotion to Chivas de Guadalajara, Martínez played college soccer at Cal State Fullerton and was drafted by the then-Dallas Burn in the second round of the 2000 MLS SuperDraft. Martínez played three and a half seasons for Dallas, before being traded to the Los Angeles Galaxy with Paul Broome and Ryan Suarez in exchange for Ezra Hendrickson and Gavin Glinton. He only lasted half a season with LA, and spent 2004 with Spain's Salamanca and Mexico's Necaxa. Martínez came back to MLS in 2005, his rights traded from the Galaxy to Chivas USA, a team he seemed destined to play for. He has scored 10 goals in 26 assists in five years of MLS league play. Martínez was released by Chivas prior to the 2006 season.
