Arsenio Iglesias Pardo (born 24 December 1930) is a Spanish retired football forward and coach.
Nicknamed O Bruxo de Arteixo ("The Wizard of Arteixo"), his professional career, which spanned more than four decades, was closely associated to Deportivo as both a player and manager.
Born in Arteixo, Province of A Coruña, Iglesias started his career with local side Deportivo de La Coruña. He made his La Liga debut on 28 October 1951 in a 1–6 away loss against FC Barcelona, and scored in the following weekend against RCD Español (3–1 home win).
Iglesias netted seven goals in three separate seasons for the Galicians, adding a career-best eight in 1956–57, which nonetheless ended in relegation. In six of the following eight years he also played in the top division, representing Sevilla FC, Granada CF and Real Oviedo; he amassed competition totals of 238 games and 50 goals, and retired at 35 after a spell in the lower leagues with Albacete Balompié.
Iglesias started coaching one year after retiring, his first appointment being at Deportivo's reserves, which he accumulated with assistant duties in the main squad. Midway through the 1970–71 campaign he was named the first team's manager, leading it to a top flight promotion and being relegated back in 1973.
