Miguel Soares Martins (pronounced [miˈɣɛl mɐɾˈtĩʃ]; born 4 November 1997) is a Portuguese handball player for Aalborg Håndbold and the Portuguese national team.

He represented Portugal at the 2020 European Men's Handball Championship.[1][2]

He was excluded from 2025 World Men's Handball Championship due to accusations of doping by having unnatural levels of testosterone.[3] A month later he was cleared of all charges and could continue the season at Aalborg Håndbold.[4] Three days after being cleared, he won the Danish Cup with Aalborg Håndbold, beating SønderjyskE Håndbold in the semifinal and Bjerringbro-Silkeborg in the final. His team mate Simon Hald dedicated the win to Martins, calling the entire process unfair.[5][6] At the end of February 2025 he announced his intention to leave Aalborg Håndbold at the end of the 2025 season, over concerns about playing time.[7]
