Mariano García Remón (born 30 September 1950) is a Spanish retired football goalkeeper and coach.
He is best known for his spell at Real Madrid, which he helped to six La Liga and three Copa del Rey trophies. He subsequently worked as a manager, having a brief stint with his main club.
Born in Madrid, Remón finished his football formation with country giants Real Madrid, but served two loans in the third and second divisions before returning in 1971. He then began an interesting battle for first-choice status with Miguel Ángel González which would last for the vast majority of his stay: Remón would start from 1971 to 1973 and 1979 to 1981, and the pair split appearances in two other seasons.
In the 1972–73 European Cup quarter-finals against FC Dynamo Kyiv, in the 0–0 first leg draw in Odessa, Remón's heroic efforts earned him the nickname El gato de Odesa ("the cat of Odessa"). After only eight La Liga appearances in his final five seasons combined, being third-choice for the side that won back-to-back UEFA Cups, he retired at almost 36 with 231 overall appearances for the club to his credit.
Remón earned two caps for Spain during five months in 1973, both in friendlies. His debut came on 2 May, playing the second half of a 2–3 loss in the Netherlands.
Remón's coaching career started with the youth sides of Real Madrid. From there he progressed to the B-team, preceding his assistant coach Rafael Benítez.
