Juan Miguel Jiménez López (born 20 May 1993), known as Juanmi, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Sociedad as a forward.
He came through the youth ranks at Málaga, starting in its reserves and making his first-team debut in 2010, also spending time on loan at Racing de Santander in 2013.
Juanmi won the European Championship with Spain under-19s in 2011 and 2012, and made his senior international debut in 2015.
Juanmi was born in Coín, Málaga. Raised in Málaga CF's youth ranks, he made his first-team debut on 13 January 2010 in a Copa del Rey away match against Getafe CF, scoring as the Andalusians were crushed 1–5 (losing 3–6 on aggregate), which made him the club's youngest ever goalscorer in an official match at the age of only 16; Four days later, he first appeared in La Liga, playing eight minutes in a 1–0 home win against the same opponent.
On 27 March 2010, Juanmi assisted Apoño's goal in a 1–1 home draw against CD Tenerife. Although Málaga were threatened with relegation until the last day of the season, he still was able to appear in five first-team games, totalling 110 minutes; on 5 August he signed his first professional contract, keeping him with the club until the end of 2014–15.
