Pablo Martín Benavides (born 20 April 1986) is a Spanish professional golfer.

In April 2007, Martín became the first amateur ever to win a European Tour event when he captured the Estoril Open de Portugal title.

However in the first event of the 2010 season, the Alfred Dunhill Championship, he won again to become the first player to win on the European Tour as both an amateur and as a professional.
