Aythami Artiles Oliva (born 2 April 1986 in Arguineguín, Canary Islands), simply Aythami, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Deportivo de La Coruña as a central defender.
After successfully representing hometown side of UD Las Palmas, Aythami was bought in July 2007 by Deportivo de La Coruña for €600.000, signing a five-year contract. He only appeared once for the Galicians in his first year, a 0–2 home loss against Recreativo de Huelva and, in January 2008, was loaned to Xerez CD, in the second division.
The loan was renewed for the entire 2008–09, and Aythami was an instrumental defensive element for the Andalusians, which achieved a first-ever top flight promotion. A new loan deal was arranged for the following season, and he continued to be an automatic first-choice, also netting two times in the league, but Xerez was immediately relegated back.
