Francisco Nicolás Veza Fragoso (born 6 December 1970 in Alicante), aka Paqui, is a retired Spanish footballer who played as a left defender.
He was part of Spain's gold medal-winning squad at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, and played professionally for six clubs during 16 years, namely Tenerife and Las Palmas.
An unsuccessful FC Barcelona youth graduate (only played for the Catalans' B team), Paqui went on to represent CD Tenerife, Real Zaragoza, Hércules CF and UD Las Palmas (being instrumental in the Canary Islands' 2000 return to the top flight, and also serving a loan to CA Osasuna).
He retired from the game in June 2004, after Las Palmas' demotion into the third level, totalling 221 matches and two goals in La Liga.
