Eduard "Edi" Martini (born 2 January 1975) is an Albanian football manager and former player. During his playing career, Martini represented mostly Vllaznia Shkodër but also played abroad with Slovenian Vevce, Austrian SAK Klagenfurt and Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. He fled war-torn Albania for Germany in 1997 after a match in Spain along with teammate Adrian Dashi. Martini made his international debut for Albania on 14 May 1994 during the 5–1 away defeat to Macedonia, appearing as a first-half substitute for Gentian Stojku. A year later, on 16 August 1995, he made his second appearance in a 2–1 upset to Malta, playing full-90 minutes.
