Valdileia Martins (born 19 September 1989) is a Brazilian athlete who specialises in the high jump.[1] She represented her country at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest without qualifying for the final. In addition, she has won multiple medals on regional level.

She became the second Brazilian in history to reach the mark of 1.90 m in the high jump, in the III CBAt/CPB Challenge, held in São Paulo, 2024. The Brazilian record of 1.92 m has been held by Orlane Maria Lima dos Santos since 1989 and was set in the altitude of Bogotá.[2]

At the 2024 Summer Olympics, at the age of 34, she achieved the best result of her life by qualifying for the Olympic final, equaling the Brazilian record in the high jump. She achieved a mark of 1.92m, and also attempted 3 jumps at 1.95m in the qualifying round. In the second of the 3 attempts at 1.95m, she twisted her ankle and had 2 days to recover until the final.[3]

Her personal bests in the event are 1.92 metres outdoors (Paris 2024) and 1.85 metres indoors (Cochabamba 2024).
