Juan Gutiérrez Moreno (born 23 July 1976), commonly known as Juanito, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender, and a current manager.

A player of physical display, he is also noted for his excellent aerial ability. He spent the bulk of his career with Betis, appearing in more than 300 official games and winning one Copa del Rey.

With the Spanish national team, Juanito appeared in one World Cup and two European Championships, contributing to the conquest of Euro 2008.

Juanito was born in Cádiz. After taking his first steps as a senior with the B-side of hometown's Cádiz CF, he transferred to Andalusia neighbours Real Betis in 1997, appearing three seasons for the reserves; in 2000–01 he was loaned to another team in the region, Recreativo de Huelva in Segunda División.

Juanito made his debut for Betis' main squad in the 2001–02 campaign, and immediately established himself as a regular starter, often scoring from deadball situations (his first came on 27 January 2002, a last-minute goal against Real Madrid in a 1–1 away draw).

In 2004–05, he netted four goals in 33 games as Betis achieved qualification honours to the UEFA Champions League, while also winning the 2005 domestic cup. David Rivas, the other stopper, added another four.
