Domingo José Larrainzar Santamaría (Txomin in Basque, born 8 September 1969 in Pamplona, Navarre) is a retired Spanish footballer who played mainly as a central defender.
His younger brother Iñigo, often referred to as Larrainzar II, was also a footballer, and both played at CA Osasuna.
A product of hometown CA Osasuna's youth ranks, Larrainzar amassed 11 first team matches from 1988–90. In his third season, he helped with 14 matches and one goal to help the Navarrese finish fourth and qualify for the UEFA Cup. Although younger, his brother Iñigo was already an essential member of the squad.
With Osasuna in the second division, Larrainzar dropped down a level and moved to Málaga CF, helping it return to La Liga in just two years; although never an undisputed starter, he featured regularly.
In the 2002–03 season, prior to Málaga's Intertoto Cup conquest, Larrainzar returned to the "silver category", with Levante UD, but retired at the end of the season.
