Jonatan Valle Trueba (born 30 December 1984 in Santander, Cantabria) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Leganés as a midfielder.
A product of hometown Racing de Santander's youth system, Valle first appeared with the main side in the final matchday of 2002–03, playing 11 minutes in a 3–2 home loss against CA Osasuna. He would be "upgraded" definitely in the following season, but would never be an undisputed starter. On December 20, 2003, Valle scored a late penalty in a 2–2 draw at Atlético de Madrid.
After a 2006–07 loan with second level side Málaga CF, Valle returned to Santander, playing almost no part in the Cantabria side's first ever UEFA Cup qualification (only eight matches, one start).
For 2008–09, he would be loaned again, to SD Ponferradina, in the third category. In July 2009, Valle would be bought by CD Castellón, with Racing retaining an option to reacquire the player; however, merely five months later, he returned to Ponferrada, in the same predicament, until the end of the season.
