Marc Muniesa Martínez (born 27 March 1992) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays mainly as a centre-back or left-back for Qatari Stars League club Al Shahaniya.
Muniesa began his career with Barcelona, making his debut at the end of the 2008–09 season at the age of 17. He then played for Barcelona B, helping them to win promotion to the Segunda División in 2009–10. He was on the verge of breaking into the first team in 2012–13, but suffered a torn knee ligament in pre-season and missed most of the season. In July 2013, he joined English side Stoke City on a free transfer. Four years later, he returned to La Liga with local side Girona, on a season-long loan. He made this move permanent in 2018 for €5 million but severed his contract a year later following their relegation, and joined Al-Arabi in Qatar.
Muniesa gained 26 caps for Spain at youth level, including five for the under-21 side with which he won the 2013 European Championship.
