Marta Domínguez Azpeleta (born November 3, 1975 in Palencia) is a Spanish runner who currently mainly competes in 5000 metres and 10000. In 2002 she won these events at the European indoor and outdoor championships, and won her second straight title in 2006 in the 5000 metres at the European outdoor championship (also obtaining the Championship Record). She also has silver medals from the World Championships in 2001 and 2003, and she was named Spanish Athlete of the Year in both years.

A six-time national champion in the women's 5.000 metres, Domínguez has competed in two Olympics, in 1996 and 2000. She missed the 2004 Summer Olympics due to injury and returned in 2005 with a fourth place at the World Championships.

In 2006, after winning the gold medal at the European Championship in the 5000 metres, she became the most decorated Spanish athlete ever. She also broke the Spanish record at the 10,000m at the same event, where she finished 7th.
