Luis Ángel Malagón Velázquez (born 2 March 1997) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga MX club América and the Mexico national team.

[2] Born in Zamora, Michoacán, Malagón started his career in the Santos Laguna youth system, joining at the age of 12, and playing for their under-15 side sporadically through the 2012 calendar year.

Malagón was then let go by the Torreón squad due to his lack of discipline,[3] and joined his local club Real Zamora, making 33 league appearances in the Liga Premier de México.

Despite this, Malagón was given a chance to play in the cup competition, where he made his first team debut on 16 February 2016 against Necaxa in which he conceded the winning goal in the 88th minute, losing 1–0.

[10] In the latter half of the season, Necaxa's performances improved, and with Malagón still at a high level, they finished in the 9th position in the league, earning a spot in the repechaje stage of the playoffs.

Malagón did not play in the first two matches of the season, as he was coming back from international duty for Mexico in the 2023 Gold Cup, with Óscar Jiménez taking his place.

[18] Malagón was called up by Jaime Lozano to participate with the under-23 team at the 2019 Pan American Games,[19] with Mexico winning the third-place match.

In the final group stage match against the United States, Malagón suffered an elbow injury, causing him to miss the rest of the tournament.

[22] In December 2021, Malagón received his first call-up to the senior national team by Gerardo Martino,[23] and made his debut nearly two years later under Diego Cocca on 7 June 2023, in a friendly match against Guatemala.
