David Cobeño Iglesias (Spanish pronunciation: [da'βið ko'βeɲo i'ɣlesjas]; born 6 April 1982) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Born in Madrid, Cobeño graduated in the youth squads of local Rayo Vallecano. After one season with lowly SD Ponferradina he was bought by Real Madrid, spending the 2005–06 campaign in Segunda División with its B-team.
After good performances, Cobeño moved to Sevilla FC: initially backing up Andrés Palop, he benefited from an injury to the first-choice during a March 2007 home win with Celta de Vigo, and went on to make four full additional appearances, adding three in the Andalusians' victorious run in the UEFA Cup.
In 2007–08, Cobeño was loaned to neighbouring – and La Liga newcomers – UD Almería. After starting the season as the starting goalkeeper, he lost the job to Brazilian Diego Alves, only reappearing for two of the side's last three games; subsequently, he was released by Sevilla and returned to Rayo on a three-year deal, as the Madrid club promoted again to the second level.
