Miguel Ángel Llera Garzón (born 7 August 1979) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender.

He played mostly in the lower leagues of his country, appearing in only 12 La Liga games with Gimnàstic. He moved to England in 2008 after signing with Milton Keynes Dons, going on to remain in the country until his retirement and represent a host of clubs, mainly Sheffield Wednesday (three years) and Charlton Athletic (two).

Llera was born in Castilleja de la Cuesta, Province of Seville. After unsuccessfully emerging through local Recreativo de Huelva's youth ranks, he represented several modest clubs until 2005–06, when he contributed with 27 games (scoring three times) to Gimnàstic de Tarragona's return to La Liga after a 56-year absence; however, midway through the following season, he was released from contract, after appearing in 12 matches (all starts) for the Catalans and scoring in defeats against Real Sociedad (2–3, away) and Getafe CF (1–3, home) as Nàstic was eventually immediately relegated back.

In 2007–08 Llera continued in Segunda División, but also failed to impress at Hércules CF, playing in only 11 games out of 42.

Subsequently Llera took his game to England, joining League One side Milton Keynes Dons in September 2008.
