The Martinique national football team (French: Équipe de Martinique de football) represents Martinique (French overseas department) in men's international football and is controlled by the Ligue de Football de la Martinique (English: Martinique Football League), the local branch of the FFF. It has been a member of CONCACAF since 1964 (as an associate member) and obtained full membership in 2013. Regionally, it is also a member of CFU.

The association is not a member of FIFA. On 7 August 2010, the team adopted the nickname Les Matinino, which pays tribute to the history of the island.
