Joseba Arriaga Dosantos (born 28 July 1982 in Ermua, Biscay) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CD Guadalajara as a forward.
Having emerged through Athletic Bilbao's youth system, Lezama, Arriaga was promoted to the first team for 2002–03, having an immediate impact; he made his club debut in a friendly against feeder club CD Baskonia, replacing Julen Guerrero, on 26 July 2002. One month later, he first appeared in La Liga, playing the entire derby at Real Sociedad, in a 4–2 win.
Arriaga's importance would drastically diminish in the following two seasons, being only third or fourth-choice in the offense, and eventually had to resume his career in the second division, with SD Eibar and UD Las Palmas, following which he had to steady years with Real Jaén - but in the third level.
After a good second year, Arriaga stayed in Andalusia but moved to Cádiz CF, freshly returned to division two.
