José Alberto Recuero García[a] (born 3 May 1974 in Barcelona) is a retired amateur Spanish Greco-Roman wrestler, who competed in the men's middleweight category.

Recuero made his official debut, as an 18-year-old teen and a member of the host nation's wrestling team, at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, where he competed in the men's welterweight category (74 kg).

In the prelim pool, Recuero received a bye on the opening round, before losing out two straight matches each to Austria's Anton Marchl (3–1) and Yugoslavia's Željko Trajković (3–0).

Earlier in the process, he finished fourth at the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Tashkent, Uzbekistan to guarantee his spot on the returning Spanish wrestling team after a 12-year hiatus.
