Martin Sastre (born February 13, 1976 in Montevideo, Uruguay) is a contemporary Uruguayan media artist working with film, video, sculpture, photography and drawing.

Sastre spent his youth in Montevideo, Uruguay. In 2002 he moved to Madrid, granted by Fundación Carolina of the government of Spain.

His best-known works are Iberoamerican Trilogy (, and ).

In 2003 Sastre set up the Martin Sastre Foundation for the Super Poor Art with the slogan, "Adopt a Latin American Artist". The Foundation has at its heart the opportunity to sponsor artists from the periphery who normally do not have the economic means to access international circuits.

In 2004 he won the First Prize for Young Artist at Madrid's highly prestigious ARCO Art Fair by the Madrid City Council. This same year his work Bolivia 3: Confederation Next, where Sastre fights American Artist Matthew Barney, was selected for the National representation of Uruguay in the São Paulo Biennial.

In 2005 his work was released during the Venice Biennial where the artist claims to have found Diana, Princess of Wales alive in Montevideo. This same year, the Martin Sastre Foundation brought three German artists from the Bauhaus University in Weimar to Montevideo with his program "Be a Latin American Artist".

He is the eldest brother of three children, a sister Maria Eugenia Malaneschii, and brother Federico Sastre Malaneschii both regularly featuring in his artworks.

He is based in Madrid, Spain where he has done collaborations with the Spanish Pop band Fangoria.
