Olivier Martinez (born January 12, 1966 in Paris, France) is an actor.

Martinez began his acting career in his native France in 1990, and quickly achieved success. In 1994 he won a César Award as "Most Promising Actor" for his role in Un, Deux, Trois, Soleil, (1993).

He first came to mainstream attention in Hollywood films with his performance opposite Diane Lane in Unfaithful (2002). He has since appeared in a television adaptation of The Roman Spring of Mrs Stone (2003), S.W.A.T. (2003) and Taking Lives (2004).

Martinez lived with actress Juliette Binoche for three years, and their relationship was widely reported by the French press. He is currently in a relationship with Australian singer Kylie Minogue. Kylie's sister Dannii Minogue revealed to an Australian magazine in early 2004 that her sister and Martinez were planning to marry in the middle of the year.
