Javier Paredes Arango (born 5 July 1982) is a Spanish former footballer who played mainly as a left-back.

He represented mainly Zaragoza in a 14-year professional career, signing in 2007 and appearing in 172 competitive games.
Club career
Early years and Getafe
Paredes was born in Oviedo, Asturias. After starting out at his hometown club Real Oviedo and being relegated from Segunda División in the 2002–03 season, he left for two additional campaigns with Real Madrid's reserves, who competed in the Segunda División B. In 2005–06, Paredes joined Getafe CF also in the Madrid area, and made his official – and La Liga – debut on 28 August 2005, in a 2–0 away win against Real Sociedad.[1] He appeared in only seven games that season, barred by Mariano Pernía, but would be the undisputed starter in the following after the Argentine left for Atlético Madrid.
Zaragoza
Paredes signed with Aragon's Real Zaragoza for 2007–08, agreeing to a five-year contract.[2] Initially backing up Juanfran, he finished as first-choice as the team eventually got relegated; he started again the following campaign, helping to an immediate promotion. In the following years, Paredes featured more often than not as a central defender.[3][4] Zaragoza returned to division two at the end of the 2012–13 season, and he was released on 25 February 2014 alongside José María Movilla, finding about the news through the club's website.[5]
Albacete
In January 2015, after nearly one year of inactivity, Paredes moved to second-tier Albacete Balompié following a successful trial.[6]
