Javi de Pedro, fullname Francisco Javier de Pedro Falque (born August 4, 1973 in Logroño, Spain) is a Spanish ex-football player.
After eleven seasons with Real Sociedad, where he was an instrumental left-footed midfielder, he joined Blackburn Rovers F.C. on July 1, 2004, after he had been refused a move to Southampton F.C. the previous year, playing out undetermined the remaining season of his contract.
De Pedro made his debut for the club on August 14, 2004, a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion, before being substituted by Tugay Kerimoğlu for the second half of the match.
De Pedro played for Spain in the 2002 World Cup, and his last cap came in 2003 (having debuted in 1998). On January 31 2005, de Pedro was released on a free transfer by Blackburn and signed for AC Perugia where he played only a few matches before joining Swedish club IFK Göteborg, which he left after only a few days due to personal reasons in December 2005. Afterwards, de Pedro would only play some exhibition matches with second tier side PAE Ergotelis, in Greece. He would return to Spain to play with modest Burgos CF.
In 2007-08 he started the season, alongside former teammate (in both R.Sociedad and country) Agustín Aranzábal, with regional side CD Vera in Tenerife, but was dismissed by the team's coach, due to a lack of commitment.
De Pedro retired from football after his experience with Vera, and subsequently focused on getting the trainer degree.
