Francisco Pavón Barahona, nicknamed Paco Pavón (born January 9, 1980 in Madrid) is a Spanish football defender, who currently plays for Real Madrid. His name became associated with the Los Galácticos policy when Florentino Pérez promised to build a team full of Zidanes and Pavones - expensive high profile recruits like Zinedine Zidane and youth team graduates like Pavón.

Pavón progressed through the ranks at Real Madrid, starting with the junior side Tendillo, until he established himself with Real Madrid B. He then made his La Liga debut against Atlético Madrid at the Bernabéu, on October 6 , 2001.
