Martín Quispe Julián (born 10 June 1959) is a Bolivian educator, politician, and trade unionist who served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies from La Paz, representing circumscription 21 from 2010 to 2015.
Born in the Calamarca Municipality, Quispe spent his early career as a schoolteacher before pivoting to broadcast radio. Around 1996, he returned to his home Aroma Province, where he held positions of leadership within both his indigenous community in the area's trade unions.
A member of the Movement for Socialism, Quispe served within the party's provincial and departmental affiliates until 2009, when he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies. Quispe's ninety percent victory was the highest margin achieved by any candidate running in single-member constituencies that cycle. He was not nominated for reelection.
