Martin Madidi Fayulu (born 21 November 1956) is a Congolese politician. He is the leader of the Engagement for Citizenship and Development party.

On 11 November 2018, he was chosen by seven opposition leaders to be their joint presidential candidate in the 2018 Democratic Republic of the Congo general election. However, within 24 hours, Félix Tshisekedi, the eventual official winner of the 2018 presidential election, despite being widely viewed as fraudulent, and Vital Kamerhe, the other opposition candidate, rescinded their endorsement of his candidacy and formed their own pact with Tshisekedi as candidate.[1][2][3]
