Martorelles ({{IPA|ca|məɾtuˈɾɛʎəs}}) is a municipality in the province of Barcelona and autonomous community of Catalonia, Spain.

It covers {{convert|3.6|km2}}. Its population in 2014 was 4,783.

It was in Martorelles that motorcycle ace Ricardo Tormo crashed and shattered his leg in 1984 during practice for a race, ending his career. A car entered the unrestricted area in a closed-off industrial estate where his Derbi team was practising, and Tormo ran into it.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}}
