José Antonio Reyes Calderón (Spanish pronunciation: [xoˈse anˈtonjo ˈreʝes kaldeˈɾon]; born 1 September 1983) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for RCD Espanyol mainly as a left winger but also as a forward.

He made his professional debut for Sevilla at only 16, signing for England's Arsenal aged 20. After two years he returned to Spain, going on to represent the two largest clubs in Madrid, Real and Atlético Madrid. He also had a short loan spell in Portugal with Benfica, re-joining Sevilla late in his career and winning the Europa League three times.

Reyes gained 21 caps for Spain, and represented the nation at the 2006 World Cup.

Born in Utrera, Province of Seville, to Spanish Kale (Gitanos) parents, Reyes joined the youth ranks of local Sevilla FC at the age of 10 and went on to represent the club at all youth levels.

Reyes finally signed a full contract in 1999, making his main squad debuts during 1999–2000 at just 16 in a game against Real Zaragoza, and was later called up to Spain's squad for the UEFA European Under-17 Championship. With the Andalusians now in Segunda División, he added another first-team appearance.
