Alejandro "Álex" Bergantiños García (born 7 June 1985) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Sporting de Gijón on loan from Deportivo de La Coruña as a defensive midfielder.
Bergantiños was born in A Coruña. He had his first professional spell as a footballer in 2008, at already 23: loaned by local Deportivo de La Coruña, he was an essential midfield figure as Xerez CD achieved a first-ever top flight promotion – 31 games, 21 starts and 2,085 minutes played.
In very late August 2009, Depor agreed to loan Bergantiños once again to the Andalusians, in another season-long move. He made his La Liga debut on 30 August, playing the last 30 minutes in a 0–2 away loss against RCD Mallorca, and produced roughly the same numbers than in the previous campaign as the Andalusians were immediately relegated back.
Bergantiños moved to Granada CF for 2010–11, still owned by Deportivo. In January he ended his contract with the former and joined, in the same predicament, another club in the second division, Gimnàstic de Tarragona.
Bergantiños returned to Galicia for the 2011–12 campaign, and soon became a first-team regular, appearing in all the league games and helping his team achieve promotion back to the top flight. He scored his first goal in the competition on 20 October 2012, but in a 4–5 home loss against FC Barcelona; on 12 December 2015, against the same opponent but at the Camp Nou, he helped the visitors come from behind 0–2 to draw it 2–2 by netting in the 85th-minute.
