José Antonio Luque Ramírez (born 16 February 1974 in Marchena, Seville, Andalusia) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
After playing five seasons with Sevilla FC's reserves, Luque joined another side in Andalusia and the third division, Real Balompédica Linense, where he remained one year. In 2000 he signed for Recreativo de Huelva, being second-choice in his beginnings but being the most used goalkeeper in 2002–03's La Liga, in a campaign where the oldest club in Spain also reached the Copa del Rey final; during that year, he shared teams with Manuel Almunia – later of Arsenal fame.
In the following season, now in the second level, Luque lost his place to newly signed Toño, regained it again when his competitor left for Racing de Santander and battled with him again when he returned in January 2006, on loan. In 2005–06, as Recre returned to the top flight after a three-year absence, he only conceded 22 goals in 24 matches, but was ineligible to receive the Ricardo Zamora Trophy due to the number of games played.
