Noemí Rubio Gil is a former Spanish football player, who played as a midfielder. She started her senior career at CE Sabadell. With this team she won her first national cup in 2003.

In the summer of 2005 she moved from Sabadell, which would disappear just months later, to RCD Espanyol. In her first season in the white and blues she won both the League and Cup. This stage ended abruptly in May 2009 as she uploaded to her Facebook account photos which showed her supporting Espanyol's rival FC Barcelona at the 2008-09 Copa del Rey final in Valencia. Rubio was dismissed from the team for the remainder of the season and her contract was not renewed.

She subsequently moved to FC Barcelona, where she spent her two last seasons. In June 2011 she won her third national cup in a final match against her former team. It was her last game as she retired at just 27 years old. She scored her last goal in the semi-finals against Real Sociedad.
