Francisco Javier "Javi" Suárez Lizano (born 30 January 1976) is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played as a central defender, and a current manager.
A Real Zaragoza youth graduate, Zaragoza-born Suárez made his professional debuts with its B-side in 1994. He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 23 February 1998, coming on as a late substitute for Jesús García Sanjuán in a 1–2 away loss against Atlético Madrid.
Suárez moved to Segunda División side CD Numancia in July 1998, but was rarely used. He still managed to score his first professional goal for the side on 24 January 1999, netting his team's second in a 2–3 loss at Recreativo de Huelva.
Suárez would subsequently resume his career in Segunda División B and Tercera División, representing CD Binéfar, Cultural Leonesa, CD Logroñés, CD Recreación, UE Sant Andreu, SD Huesca, Granada CF, SD Ejea,CD La Muela and CD Sariñena; he retired with the latter in 2012, at the age of 36. At international level, he scored a last-minute winner for Aragon in a 1–0 friendly home win against Chile.
