Shelton Martis (born 29 November 1982 in Willemstad, Netherlands Antilles) is a Netherlands Antilles football defender currently playing for West Bromwich Albion.

He previously played for SBV Excelsior and FC Eindhoven in the Netherlands before joining English League Two club Darlington in 2005. He moved to Hibernian in August 2006 on a three-year deal.

In what was ultimately his last game for the club against Hearts he made an error which led to Hibs being scored against in the first 30 seconds, and he was substituted at half time.

Martis signed for West Bromwich Albion for £50,000 on July 2 2007.
