Juan Antonio Marín Casero (born 2 March 1975) is a former professional male tennis player from Costa Rica, who represented the Central American nation at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.

In October 1999, Marín reached his career-high singles ranking of world No. 55.

He never won a Grand Slam main draw match, despite appearing in 17.
