Javier Casas Cuevas, (born May 9, 1982 in Bilbao, Biscay) is a Spanish/Basque defender currently contracted to Athletic Bilbao.

Casas came through the ranks of Athletic and took over the left back position after the departure of Asier Del Horno to Chelsea, although he managed 19 league appearances in 2004-05. Ironically, he was left out of the first team squad at the start of the 2007-08 season, after Athletic re-signed Del Horno on loan from Valencia. Unable to find a new club in the January 2008 transfer window, and still without a squad number at Athletic, he was not eligible to play competitively during the 2007-08 season.
