Sergio Sánchez Sánchez (born 28 April 1977 in Carbayín Alto, Siero, Asturias) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Having joined local Sporting de Gijón's youth system as an infant, Sánchez first appeared for the professionals during the 1998–99 season as the Asturias club was in the second division. Another spell in that level, with Atlético Madrid, would follow, although he played almost no part in the Colchoneros's return to La Liga in 2002 (three games played); he was signed by the latter in October 1999, but remained on loan to the former until June of the following year.
Loaned by Atlético to RCD Espanyol in 2002–03 – making his top flight debut on 2 September 2002 in a 0–2 away loss against Real Madrid – Sánchez would meet the same fate the following campaign, with Getafe CF. There, he would appear in exactly half of the matches as the Madrid outskirts side achieved a first ever top flight promotion, only collecting eight appearances during 2004–05.
After an unassuming stint with Hércules CF, Sánchez signed for lowly UD Melilla, leaving shortly after for personal reasons without any official appearances. He finished the season with ADO Den Haag, in the Netherlands.
