Fernando Peralta Carrasco (born 15 August 1961), known simply as Fernando, is a retired Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
His career was mostly spent with Málaga and Sevilla, totalling 203 official games across two spells with the former. In all, he played 162 La Liga matches, also representing Compostela in the division.
Born in Ronda, Andalusia, Fernando began his career at nearby CD Málaga. He made his professional debut on 14 December 1980, coming on as a 53rd-minute substitute for José Luis Burgueña in a 2–1 Segunda División home win over neighbours Recreativo de Huelva. The following 8 February, he made his first start in a 1–0 win at Palencia CF; he totalled 17 appearances over the season whilst conceding 19 goals, adding one appearance the following campaign as the team won promotion.
Fernando made his La Liga debut on 4 September 1982, in a 1–1 home draw against Sporting de Gijón. He played all of the first seven games of the season, but only one more in its remainder; he then became an undisputed starter, missing only two league matches in the next three years combined, with the Blanquiazules being relegated in the second.
In 1986, Fernando returned to the top flight, signing for neighbours Sevilla FC. He played 38 games in his first season at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium to help to a final 12th place, being sent off towards the end of a 0–1 away loss to Real Valladolid on 2 November 1986; after the acquisition of Soviet Rinat Dasayev, he became a backup.
