Jesús Martínez Barrios (Spanish: [xeˈsuz maɾˈtineθ ˈβarjos]; born 10 November 1985), known as Morenito de Aranda (Spanish: [moɾeˈnito ðe aˈɾanda]) is a Spanish bullfighter. Born in a small town in Burgos, he had no family background in bullfighting, but has nonetheless become a well known matador in his own country and abroad. His interests also extend to raising the very cattle that he fights at a farm that he established.
