Sebastián Losada Bestard (born 3 September 1967) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker.

He amassed La Liga totals of 131 games and 34 goals over the course of seasons, in representation of five teams, starting his career with Real Madrid.

A Real Madrid youth graduate, Madrid-born Losada made his first-team debut on 9 September 1984 in a 1–1 away draw against Sporting de Gijón, but would not have a successful period with the capital side. He did, however, score eight La Liga goals in just 16 appearances in the 1989–90 season as Real were crowned champions, adding the club's goal number 400 in the European Cup in a 2–2 draw at FC Tirol Innsbruck on 7 November 1990.

In 1987–88, Losada served a loan stint with RCD Español and netted eight top division goals during the campaign, also helping the team reach the UEFA Cup final: he scored twice in the first leg for the Catalans (3–0), but missed his penalty shootout attempt in the eventual loss against Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

Subsequently, Losada played for Atlético Madrid (frequently feuding with club president Jesús Gil), Sevilla FC – where he coincided with Diego Maradona – and Celta de Vigo. After a shock retirement at only 27 he became a lawyer, and also unsuccessfully ran for president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation in 2004.
