Javier 'Javi' Moreno Valera (born 10 September 1974) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker, and the current manager of AD Alcorcón B.
Best known for his Alavés stint, he also had short spells in Italy and England, with little impact, amassing La Liga totals of 118 games and 38 goals.
Born in Silla, Valencian Community, Moreno made his professional debuts with FC Barcelona's B-team. After stints with lowly Córdoba CF and Yeclano CF he first joined Deportivo Alavés in January 1998, with the Basque team competing in Segunda División.
After being instrumental in CD Numancia's first ever La Liga promotion in 1999, Moreno returned to Alavés, shooting to prominence during his second spell after playing a pivotal role in their run to the 2001 UEFA Cup final. Along the way, defeated were the likes of Gaziantepspor, Lillestrøm SK, Rosenborg BK, Inter Milan, fellow league club Rayo Vallecano and 1. FC Kaiserslautern, before an eventual 4–5 extra time loss to Liverpool in the decisive match, with the player scoring two goals in three minutes (he also finished the league season with 22 successful strikes, good enough for third).
