José Antonio Reyes Calderón (Spanish pronunciation: ; (1 September 1983 – 1 June 2019) was a Spanish professional footballer who played mainly as a left winger but also as a forward who was playing for Extremadura UD at the time when he died in a car crash.

He made his professional debut for Sevilla at only 16, signing for England's Arsenal in January 2004. He returned to Spain after two years, going on to represent the two largest clubs in Madrid, Real and Atlético Madrid, and winning La Liga with the former.
