Juan Ángel Albín Leites (born 17 July 1986) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays for Mexican club Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz as an attacking midfielder.
He spent most of his career in Spain after starting out at Nacional, going on to acquire Spanish citizenship. He amassed La Liga totals of 129 games and 21 goals over the course of seven seasons, representing in the competition Getafe and Espanyol.
Born in Salto, Salto Department, Albín started his career at Club Nacional de Football in Montevideo, where he won two national championships. His strong performances won him a transfer to Getafe CF during the 2006 summer transfer window.
In his first season, Albín appeared sparingly (13 La Liga games), but blossomed as first-choice in the following campaign as the Madrid outskirts team reached the quarterfinals in the UEFA Cup, and a mid-table league position. After a coaching change brought Míchel to the club's bench, however, he began appearing less regularly; on 29 November 2008, in a rare start, he scored in a 3–1 home win over Real Madrid.
