Jaime Mata Arnaiz (born 24 October 1988) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker or a winger for La Liga club Las Palmas.

After appearing with the main squad in Tercera División, he moved to neighbouring Rayo Vallecano in December 2009, being immediately loaned to UD Socuéllamos in the same level.

[11][12][13] On 2 July 2018, Mata signed a three-year contract with La Liga club Getafe CF as a free agent,[14] making his debut in the competition on 24 August at the age of 29 years and ten months in a 2–0 home win against SD Eibar where he played 79 minutes.

[18] He totalled 14 league goals in his first season[19] and 11 in the second,[20] but featured more often than not as a winger in his later years; after manager José Bordalás' departure in May 2021 and until his return in April 2023, he struggled to get playing time.

[22] On 15 March 2019, Mata was called up by Spain national team manager Luis Enrique for two UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying matches against Norway and Malta.
