Carlos Alcántara Cuevas (born 1 February 1985 in Zarandona, Region of Murcia) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Leganés as a left defender.
Alcántara signed with Villarreal CF in 2004, spending the vast majority of his spell with the Valencian with the reserves, and appearing in five La Liga games over the course of two seasons. His debut came on 17 October 2004, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against RCD Mallorca.
Subsequently, Alcántara signed with Deportivo de La Coruña, never appearing officially with the Galicians during his two-year stint, and being loaned to two clubs in Segunda División B, for which he also played sparingly. In 2008–09, he represented another side in the category, CF Atlético Ciudad.
After an unassuming spell in Hungary with Ferencvárosi TC, Alcántara returned to his country and joined Alicante CF, still in level three.
