Club Atlético San Martín (usually referred as San Martín de San Juan) is a football club from San Juan in Argentina. In the 2007-08 season they play in the Primera División.

The club previously had only played one season in the Argentine top flight. They played in the National championship of 1970 but they finished bottom of their group after winning only four of their 20 games.

The 2006-2007 season saw San Martín gain promotion to the Primera División when they beat Club Atlético Huracán 3-2 on aggregate in the playoff for the second automatic promotion place; scoring an equalising goal at the end of the second half. The winning goal, that gave them the promotion, came eight minutes into injury time. [ [http://www.ole.com.ar/notas/2007/06/17/01440081.html Lotto 9 ] ]
