José María Movilla Cubero (born 8 February 1975) is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played mainly as a central midfielder.
He played in 299 La Liga games in exactly ten seasons, representing mainly Zaragoza and retiring well into his 30's.
An unsuccessful graduate from Real Madrid's system, Madrid-born Movilla started his professional career with modest clubs: CD Colonia Moscardó, CD Numancia and CD Ourense. In January 1998 he switched to Málaga CF, being an instrumental figure in the Andalusia side's promotion from Segunda División B into La Liga in just two years.
Returning to Segunda División, Movilla joined Atlético Madrid, where he gained another promotion in the 2001–02 season and played in 38 games. He would arrive on loan to Real Zaragoza in January 2004, helping them avoid top flight relegation and win the Copa del Rey.
The move was made permanent subsequently, and Movilla played three additional campaigns with the Aragonese, after which he joined newly promoted Real Murcia. At the start of 2008–09, with the club now in the second division, he was, alongside Francisco Gallardo, ousted from the squad by coach Javier Clemente, only being reinstated after his sacking in December 2008.
