Sergio García de la Fuente, Sergio García (born June 9, 1983 in Barcelona), is a Spanish football player, who currently plays for Real Zaragoza.

Rising through the ranks of FC Barcelona, he found opportunities almost non-existent in the senior squad. Moving to Levante in 2004, he proved himself a first division player, a trait he continued to display in the higher-ranked Real Zaragoza, whether as a starter or the first option from the bench.

Without having being previously capped, García made the Spanish final squad of 23 for UEFA Euro 2008 as a replacement for Barcelona's Bojan Krkić.^[1] On May 31, 2008, he made his debut for the national side, coming on as a substitute for David Silva, in a friendly match against Peru. A week later he also appeared against United States.
