Juan Carlos Garrido Fernández (born 29 March 1969) is a Spanish football manager, currently manages Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Professional League.

Born in Valencia, Garrido started managing at only 24, his first club being local amateurs El Puig Club de Fútbol. In the 1998–99 season he coached CD Onda in Tercera División, as the side was Villarreal CF's farm team, a club to which he would be closely associated in the following years.

In 2003, Garrido led Villarreal's reserves – Onda was now an independent team – to a fourth division promotion, then was in charge of the team for a couple of months in 2004, also in that category. In late January 2008, he replaced sacked Juan Carlos Oliva at the helm of Villarreal B, eventually leading them to the 11th position in Segunda División B and achieving a first-ever Segunda División promotion in the following campaign.

On 1 February 2010, Garrido was appointed Villarreal first team's manager following the dismissal of Ernesto Valverde after a 0–2 home loss against CA Osasuna. On 26 April, before the season in La Liga was over, he was handed a contract set to expire in June 2011; Villarreal finished in seventh position but, after RCD Mallorca was deemed ineligible for participation in the UEFA Europa League by UEFA due to financial irregularities, the Valencian took its place.
