Alberto Marcos Rey (born 15 February 1974 in Camarma de Esteruelas, Community of Madrid) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left back.

After not being able to establish himself at Real Madrid, he went to play for 15 professional seasons with Valladolid, experiencing two relegations and one promotion and appearing in nearly 500 official matches.

After emerging through the ranks of Real Madrid, Marcos played in three La Liga matches for the 1995 national champions, his debut coming on 17 April 1994 in a 1–0 away win over Sevilla FC. In a subsequent game against FC Barcelona, he effectively marked Bulgarian international Hristo Stoichkov, but could never break into the first team.

In the 1995–96 season, Marcos signed with Real Valladolid, going on to be a defensive mainstay for over a decade, amassing nearly 500 appearances in all competitions and eventually gaining team captaincy. From 1997 to 2002 he only missed eight league contests combined, and became, late in 2008–09, the player with most overall and first division matches for the club; two seasons earlier, as the Castile and León side returned to the top division after a two-year absence, he had contributed with 29 matches, scoring once.
