Egoitz García Echeguibel (born 31 March 1986) is a Spanish professional road bicycle racer who rides for UCI Continental team Al Marakeb Cycling Team. He formerly rode for UCI Professional Continental Team Cofidis.
Born in Barakaldo, García has competed as a professional since the start of the 2010 season, riding as a member of the Caja Rural squad for two seasons before joining Cofidis for the 2012 season. In August 2012, García took his first victory for the team, by winning the two-stage Paris–Corrèze race in France; having finished with the peloton in stage one, García finished second to FDJ–BigMat's Kenny Elissonde on the final stage, after the pair had broken away from the main field.
