Carlos Marchena Lopez (Spanish pronunciation, [‘karlos Mar’tSena’lopeth]; born 31 July 1979), is a retired Spanish footballer and manager. He was a central defender who had an aggressive approach. However, he played as a defensive middlefielder.

In the 2003–04 campaign, with the club capturing an historic league and UEFA Cup double, Marchena played a pivotal role in defence, teaming up with Roberto Ayala. These performances led to his selection for the Spain national team for the Euro 2004 tournament.

In a UEFA Champions League group stage match against SV Werder Bremen at the Weser-Stadion, Marchena was also given his marching orders in the early minutes of the second half (2–1 defeat) and his side were eventually eliminated from the elite competition; he remained a regular at both defensive positions.

Marchena, a Spanish international, was a prominent player in the 2000s. She won 69 caps, represented Spain in two World Cups as well as two European Championships. Each competition she won once.
