Bruno Martini (born 25 January 1962) is a retired French footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
His professional career was closely associated with Auxerre, for which he played 13 years. Having gained more than 30 caps for France during nine years, Martini represented the nation in two European Championships.
Born in Challuy, Nevers, Martini started playing professionally for AJ Auxerre. After a loan stint with AS Nancy, he took the place of Paris Saint-Germain-bound Joël Bats, going on to appear in 322 top division games, while also helping it to a 1992–93 semifinal run in the UEFA Cup.
Martini left the squad in the season prior to the 1995–96 double conquest, pushed to the sidelines by Lionel Charbonnier. He finished his career in 1999 at 37, after four seasons with Montpellier HSC.
Martini won 31 caps with France, and participated at the UEFA European Football Championship in 1992 (as a starter) and 1996. Immediately after his retirement, he started serving as goalkeeping coach for the national side.
