Francisco Javier Vicente Navarro, commonly known as Javi Navarro, (born February 6, 1974 in Valencia, Spain) is a Spanish football player, who currently captains Sevilla FC of the Spanish La Liga. His position is centre back.

Outside Spain, he is probably best known for his elbow tackle on Real Mallorca's Juan Arango in March 2005, which left Arango unconscious on the pitch [1].

He made his international debut for the Spain national football team in a friendly against Romania on 15 November 2006, becoming the second-oldest debutant for Spain after former Real Madrid star Ferenc Puskás at 34. [2]
