Juan Carlos Valerón Santana (born June 17, 1975 in Arguineguin, Gran Canaria) is a Spanish football (soccer) midfielder, who currently plays for Deportivo de La Coruña.

Valeron is an exemplary player noted for his outstanding character and Born Again Christian beliefs, and alongside players like Raul Gonzalez have been touted as role models for younger Spanish players to emulate in terms of temperament and the right dose of passion.
