José Manuel Jurado Marín (born 29 June 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for RCD Espanyol as a central midfielder.

He played for both major teams in Madrid during his career, Real and Atlético, albeit with no success for the former. He amassed La Liga totals of 126 games and 19 goals over the course of six seasons, also representing in the competition Mallorca.

In 2010, Jurado signed for Schalke 04, going on to appear in 71 competitive matches in two years and win two major trophies, including the 2011 German Cup. He additionally had spells in Russia with Spartak, and England with Watford.

Born in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz, Jurado was a product of Real Madrid's youth system, and was one of Real Madrid Castilla's most important players alongside Javi García.

He made his official debut for the senior team on 29 October 2005 in a 2–0 away win against Real Betis, and made five first-team appearances overall, also taking the field against Olympiacos F.C. in the season's UEFA Champions League.

On 4 August 2006, Jurado moved to city rivals Atlético Madrid for a reported fee of 3 million, signing a four-year contract. However, like with Álvaro Arbeloa before him, Real Madrid included a "special clause" in Jurado's contract, having the option of buying him back at the end of the 2007–08 campaign for €6 million.
