Gabriel Moya Sanz (born 20 March 1966) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played mostly as an attacking midfielder.
Moya was born in Alcalá de Henares, Community of Madrid. He appeared in 373 games in La Liga (406 across the two major levels of Spanish football), making his debut aged 20 with Real Valladolid.[1] He then proceeded to represent Atlético Madrid, Sevilla FC – two spells – Valencia CF and RCD Mallorca, always as a very important attacking player.[2]
At the end of the 1999–2000 season, after only ten matches and team relegation with Andalusia's Sevilla, Moya retired from professional football at 34.[2]

During his stint at Valladolid, Moya earned four of his five caps for Spain.[2] The first came on 13 December 1989, in a 2–1 friendly win against Switzerland in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.[3]
Moya scored the only goal for his country on 16 January 1991, closing the 1–1 draw with Portugal in another friendly.[4]
