José María Ardines Douglas (born August 7, 1968, in Panama City, Panama) is a retired Panamanian football forward. Nicknamed chepe, he is best known for being the all-time top scorer in the Panamanian national football league ANAPROF (now known as Liga Panameña de Fútbol).
Chepe Ardines made his debut in ANAPROF for the 1989 season of the championship with Eurokickers where he enjoyed most of his success. Chepe played 12 seasons with the vikings until the team was relegated to Primera A in 2001 and only interumpting his stay during the ANAPROF 1992 offseason where he was part of Honduran side Marathón. With Eurokickers, Ardines scored a record high total of 191 goals, becoming the top-scorer for 6 seasons in a row (1990-1995-96) and also the player to have scored the most amount of goals in a single season in 1990 with 26 goals. On 20 December 1997, he scored a stunning 11 goals in a 13-2 thrashing of Ejecutivo Jrs. All of these records still stand today and are part of the goalscoring legacy left by Ardines in the national football league. Ardines was voted the league's most valuable player three times in 1990, 1992 and 1993. He was also part of the side that was crowned champion in 1993.
His 100th goal in ANAPROF was scored on November 13, 1994 against Plaza Amador's goalkeeper Gaspar Pérez in a 2-1 defeat of Eurokickers.
After the relegation of Eurokickers in the 2000-01 season, Ardines was signed by San Francisco. He enjoyed a short one-year spell in which he only scored a total of 4 goals, 3 in the Apertura and 1 in the Clausura championship. In 2002, he moved to Alianza where he also had a disappointing run scoring 2 goals for the Apertura championship. After that short 6-month stay Adrines would not play in the ANAPROF again after scoring a record total of 197 in the league. He later joined Primera A side Orión for the 2002 season.
