Onésimo Sánchez González (born 14 August 1968), known simply as Onésimo, is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a winger, and the current manager of CD Toledo.

Onésimo has been associated with Real Valladolid throughout his career, serving the club as both a player and manager. He amassed La Liga totals of 221 games and 21 goals over the course of nine seasons, which included the 1989–90 campaign spent with Barcelona.

Onésimo was born in Valladolid, Castile and León. From the very start of his career, he had a reputation as an exceptional dribbler. However, he was also often criticised for the one dimensionality of his game, the media often drawing attention to his wastefulness in front of goal.

Onésimo's playing career began with his hometown club, Real Valladolid, for whom he made nearly 50 first-team appearances before the age of 20. For the 1988–89 season, he joined fellow La Liga side Cádiz CF. His talent attracted the attention of Johan Cruyff, who took him to FC Barcelona in the following summer.

Onésimo's time at the Camp Nou was an unhappy one: Cruyff, who disapproved of the player's partying, selected him only twice in the league all season. The brightest moment of his time at the club was his dominating performance after coming on as a substitute in the second leg of the Cup Winners' Cup tie against R.S.C. Anderlecht, even though Barça lost on aggregate (2–3).
