Sergio Alejandro Santana Piedra (born August 10, 1979) is a retired Mexican professional footballer who played as a forward.
Santana first match in the Primera División de México was with C.F. Pachuca on 7 May 2000, against Toluca. He played with C.F. Pachuca for almost five years, from 2000–2005. He was transferred to Chivas de Guadalajara for the Clausura 2006 Tournament at the end of 2005. Sergio was a versatile player for Chivas, playing as a forward, striker, center attacking midfielder, and even as a defensive midfielder on occasions.
Santana represented the Mexico national team in a game against China on 16 April 2008, making his seventh appearance since Ricardo LaVolpe called him for El Tri. Santana stated his desire to leave Chivas following the arrival of Carlos Ochoa, and several months later, it was announced that he would go to Deportivo Toluca F.C.. In Santana's first match for Toluca, he scored a goal against Monarcas Morelia. The match ended in a draw at a goal each.
On June 17, 2009, during the Mexican Football draft in Cancun, the Monterrey announced that Santana was to join their squad. With Monterrey, he won a couple of championships and a Concacaf Champions League in 2010.
Santana's last Mexican club was Club Atlas. He had a poor performance, as did the entire squad, in the Clausura 2012.
