David Cañada Gracia (born March 11, 1975, Zaragoza, Aragon) is a Spanish former professional road racing cyclist. His win at the 2006 Volta a Catalunya is his best career accomplishment to date. In the 2005 Tour de France, he was in a break-away on stage 2 (the first open road stage); he attacked on the climb near the finish but was overhauled by Bouygues Télécom's Thomas Voeckler. Cañada was unable to compete in the 2009 season, due to treatment for skin cancer, and retired early in the 2010 season, having been unable to find a team.
