Jaime Gavilán, full name Jaime Gavilán Martínez (born May 12, 1985 in Valencia), is a Spanish footballer. He currently plays for Valencia CF, usually as a left midfielder.

At Valencia, Gavilán was gradually breaking into the first team after two loans, even though he had to battle for that position with the exceptionally gifted (although tremendously injury-prone) Vicente. However, after the arrival of new boss Ronald Koeman in November 2007, Gavilán was deemed surplus to requirements and was again loaned, again to Getafe, until June 2008.
