Rubén Martin Pulido (born 2 February 1979 in Madrid) is a Spanish footballer player who currently plays for Real Zaragoza, as a central defender.

After appearing for modest outfits (UB Conquense and Getafe CF (then in the third level), Real Madrid youth graduate Pulido spent one "Segunda División" each with Rayo Vallecano and Sporting de Gijón.

In 2004, Pulido returned to Getafe, helping the Madrid side retain its recently obtained first level status; however, he was never an undisputed starter during three seasons.

In July 2008, Pulido joined league newcomers UD Almería, and was one of the Andalusia side's most important players, netting 3 league goals, including the only in a January 20, 2008 home win over Deportivo de La Coruña and another in a 2-2 home draw to FC Barcelona, on March 16.

After just one season with Almería (he had signed a two-year deal), Pulido joined Real Zaragoza, freshly relegated to the second level.
