David Marrero Santana (Spanish pronunciation:[daˈβiðmaˈreɾosanˈtana]; born 8 April 1980) is a Spanish professionaltennis player. Marrero won 14 doubles titles and reached a career-high doubles ranking of world No. 5 in November 2013.

Marrero earned his first world ranking late in 2000 as a 20-year-old, but he spent only a few weeks inside the top-500 until early 2005. By late 2005, he had made it into the top-300, but faded over the next year to close out 2006 outside the top-400. In the middle of 2007, he again inched into the top-300, but faded again to close out 2007 at No. 362.

As a qualifier, Marrero reached the final of a Challenger in Chile in January, losing to No. 132Rubén Ramírez Hidalgo after upsetting No. 272Sebastián Decoud, No. 187Adrián García and No. 111Nicolás Lapentti. This result brought him back into the top 300 at World No. 289. The very next week he gained revenge over Ramirez-Hidalgo to qualify into an ATP stop in Chile, where he again beat García before losing to No. 104Fabio Fognini in the second round. In February, Marrero scored another upset, defeating World No. 114Máximo González.

Marrero reached his career-high singles ranking of World No. 143 on 8 February 2010 and career-high ranking of World No. 5 in doubles on 11 November 2013 after winning theATP World Tour Finals withFernando Verdasco defeating theBryan brothers.

In January 2016, Marrero was featured in a New York Times article about his suspected match-fixing at the Australian Open.^[1]

Marrero announced his retirement at the2022 Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell,^[2] but continued to play on the ITF and Challenger circuits. In October 2024 he won an ITF doubles tournament playing withSergi Fita Juan.
