José María Giménez Pérez (born 25 April 1980), known as Chema, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Born in Orihuela, Alicante, Valencian Community, Chema started his career with amateur and modest clubs, moving in the 2006–07 campaign to Xerez CD in the Segunda División.

A backup in his first two years (being second choice to French Stéphane Porato in his second season) he became an undisputed starter afterwards, playing 41 games as the Andalusia side reached the top flight for the first time ever.

In the summer of 2014, after one season in the Super League Greece with Skoda Xanthi FC,[4] Chema returned to his homeland and signed for Hércules CF of Segunda División B.
