Javier Subirats Hernández (born 2 October 1957) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder.
Most of his career was closely associated with Valencia, as a player and director. Over the course of 11 seasons, he amassed La Liga totals of 250 games and 24 goals.
Born in Paterna, Valencian Community, Subirats finished his youth career with local giants Valencia CF. He made his La Liga debut on 29 January 1978 in a 2–1 away win against Cádiz CF, and finished his first season with eight first-team appearances (seven as a substitute).
For the 1978–79 campaign, Subirats was loaned to Girona FC in the third division, because he had to perform compulsory military service in the city. After returning to the Che, he immediately became an important member of the main squad, contributing with five games and one goal in the victorious 1979–80 European Cup Winners' Cup run, including 112 minutes in the final against Arsenal (0–0, penalty shootout win.
In 1986–87, Subirats posted career-bests of 41 matches and six goals, helping Valencia win the second level championship. He finished his career with more than 350 official appearances for his main club, and retired in 1992 at nearly 35 after one-season spells with neighbouring sides Orihuela Deportiva CF (division two) and CF Gandia (three).
