José Luis Oltra Castañer (born 24 March 1969 in Valencia) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and a current manager.

Born in Valencia, Oltra spend the vast majority of his 14-year senior career in the lower leagues, representing Valencia CF Mestalla, SD Sueca, Levante UD, Yeclano Deportivo (two spells), Elche CF, Benidorm CF and Ontinyent CF. During an eight-season haul in Segunda División B, he amassed totals of 193 games and 21 goals.

The exception to this was in the 1991–92 campaign, when Oltra was part of CE Sabadell FC's squad in Segunda División. His debut as a professional took place on 8 September 1991, when he came as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 home draw against Real Avilés. He retired in 2001, aged 32.

Oltra started working as a manager immediately after retiring, with amateurs Catarroja CF. In 2002, he was appointed at third level club CD Castellón, leaving two years later by mutual consent and joining another team in that level, Levante UD B.

Late into 2004–05, Oltra replaced fired Bernd Schuster at the helm of Levante's first team for the last four matches. He was not able to prevent La Liga relegation, and was himself relieved of his duties on 1 November 2005 due to poor results.
