Miguel Pardeza Pichardo (born 8 February 1965) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a forward.
He was part of Real Madrid's generation of footballers known as Quinta del Buitre, but spent the better part of his career at Real Zaragoza. After retiring as a player, he returned to his first club in directorial capacities.
Having appeared in 325 La Liga games over the course of 13 seasons (81 goals scored), Pardeza was part of the Spanish squad at the 1990 World Cup.
Born in La Palma del Condado, Province of Huelva, Pardeza was a youth system graduate at Real Madrid, making his first-team debuts during the 1983–84 season. After a loan at Real Zaragoza he returned, helping with 25 games and five goals to the side's 1987 national league conquest.
In the 1987–88 campaign, Pardeza joined Zaragoza permanently, going on to become one of the Aragonese team's most prominent members as an offensive player with skills, vision and netting ability (he scored in double figures in four seasons). During 1994–95 he netted 11 La Liga goals, while also helping them to that season's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, against Arsenal.
After a quick spell with Mexico's Puebla FC, where he rejoined former Zaragoza teammate Francisco Higuera, Pardeza retired in 1999 at age 34. In June 2002, he became technical director of former side Real Zaragoza and, seven years later, he rejoined first club Real Madrid in the same capacity, following Florentino Pérez's return as president.
