José Alberto Recuero García (born 3 May 1974 in Barcelona) is a retired amateur Spanish Greco-Roman wrestler, who competed in the men's middleweight category. He represented his nation Spain in two editions of the Olympic Games (1992 and 2004), and later capped his sporting career with a bronze medal in the 74-kg division at the 2005 Mediterranean Games in Almería. Before his retirement from wrestling in 2006, Recuero trained full-time for Baron Viver Wrestling Club (Spanish: Club Lucha Baron Viver) in his native Barcelona under his coach Bernardo Martínez.
Recuero made his official debut, as an 18-year-old teen and a member of the host nation's wrestling team, at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, where he competed in the men's welterweight category (74 kg). In the prelim pool, Recuero received a bye on the opening round, before losing out two straight matches each to Austria's Anton Marchl (3–1) and Yugoslavia's Željko Trajković (3–0).
