Luis de la Fuente Castillo (born 21 June 1961) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left back, and the current coach of Spain under-19s.
He amassed La Liga totals of 254 games and six goals, with Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla.
Born in Haro, La Rioja, de la Fuente graduated from Athletic Bilbao's youth system, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in 1978, in Segunda División B. On 8 March 1981 he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 away draw against Valencia CF.
De la Fuente was definitely promoted to the main squad in the 1982 summer. He scored his first professional goal on 26 March of the following year, netting the last in a 4–0 home routing of Celta de Vigo.
In July 1987, de la Fuente moved to fellow league club Sevilla FC, and continued to appear regularly in the following campaigns. In 1991, he returned to Athletic for a 20 million pesetas fee, but was sparingly used.
De la Fuente joined Deportivo Alavés in 1993, with the side in the third tier. After one full season, he retired at the age of 33.
De la Fuente's first managerial job was at Club Portugalete, in the regional leagues. In the 2000 summer he was appointed at Segunda División B club CD Aurrerá de Vitoria, but was sacked in March of the following year.
