Albert Montañés Roca (born 26 November 1980 in Sant Carles de la Ràpita, Spain) is a professional tennis player from Spain.

He first entered the top 100 in 2001 and has been in the top 100 for all but 20 weeks since then. He achieved a career-high singles ranking of World No. 22 in 2010 and has won six singles titles and two doubles titles.

Montañés is well known for his mental toughness and is one of the very few players to win a title after saving match points in two different matches. He did it during his title run in Estoril 2009 in the quarterfinals and the final.
