Javier López Vallejo (born 22 September 1975 in Pamplona, Navarra) is a Spanish football goalkeeper, currently with Real Zaragoza.
López Vallejo began his career at hometown CA Osasuna, making his first appearance for the main side not yet 19, on May 15, 1994, in a 3-0 home win over Sporting de Gijón, although the Navarra was already relegated. He became an undisputed starter from 1995-96 onwards.
López Vallejo signed for Villarreal CF in 1999, appearing in all the matches during 1999-2000, as the side returned to La Liga after a one-year absence, and maintaining first-choice status the following two seasons.
With the signing of José Manuel Reina in 2002 and the subsequent arrival of imports Sebastián Viera and Mariano Barbosa, Vallejo was consecutively demoted to backup and third-choice. In order to search more playing opportunities, he joined Recreativo de Huelva on loan for 2006-07, where he played the majority of the Andalusia side's matches.
In 2007-08, López Vallejo signed for Real Zaragoza on a free transfer, where he would backup former Real Madrid and Spanish international César (2 matches played). As the latter moved to Tottenham Hotspur in August 2008, he became first-choice, with Zaragoza now playing in the second level.
