Martin Reim (born 14 May 1971) is an Estonian football manager and former professional player.

Reim played most of his professional career in Estonia as a central midfielder, including two separate stints for Flora with which he won seven Meistriliiga titles. He is also the most capped Estonia national football team player of all time with 157 appearances, and was the most capped European international player from August 2007 until December 2009, when he was surpassed by Latvia's Vitālijs Astafjevs. Reim is also the most capped player never to have played in a major tournament.[1]

Reim was named Estonian Footballer of the Year in 1995 and won the Estonian Silverball award three times, in 1995, 1997, and 1999. In 2011, he received the Order of the White Star for his services to Estonia.[2]

In 2007, Reim opened a football academy (Martin Reimi Jalgpallikool). In 2016, the academy team Viimsi MRJK merged with Esiliiga B club HÜJK Emmaste, and became Viimsi JK.
