Emilio Butragueño Santos (born July 22, 1963 in Madrid) is a former Spanish football forward who played for Castilla CF, Real Madrid, Atlético Celaya and Spain. During his playing career he earned the nickname El Buitre (The Vulture). He was a member of the legendary Quinta del Buitre, along with fellow Real players Manolo Sanchís, Martín Vázquez, Míchel and Miguel Pardeza. He has also served as vice-president of Real Madrid.

In 1981, Butragueño joined Real Madrid as a youth and played for the reserve team, Castilla CF, before been given his senior debut by Alfredo Di Stéfano in 1984 against Cádiz CF. He made an instant impact, scoring twice. Butragueño was a prominent member of the Real Madrid team during the 1980s, winning numerous honours. He won the European Bronze award for best footballer in two consecutive years (1986 and 1987) and won the Pichichi in 1991. In 1995, Butragueño signed for Atlético Celaya in Mexico and in his first year the team reached the final of the championship. After playing there three years, where he was known as the Gentleman of the Pitch, he finally decided to retire from the game in March 1998.

Butragueño also played 69 international matches for Spain and scored 26 goals. He was part of the Euro 84 team when Spain reached the finals. He participated in the World Cup in Mexico where he played a major part, scoring four goals as Spain beat Denmark 5-1. He also played in Italia '90. As of September 2007, he is Spain's fourth-highest all time top scorer with 26 goals, behind Raul Gonzalez (44), Fernando Hierro (29) and Fernando Morientes (27)

More recently, he was the Vice-President of Real Madrid, but he left two months after the departure of Florentino Pérez.
