José Ignacio Urbieta Egaña (12 December 1915 – 17 May 1999) was a Spanish artist, footballer who played as a defender for Deportivo Alavés and Real Sociedad, and later a manager, taking charge of Real Sociedad, Real Murcia, and Las Palmas in the 1950s.

Although known for his sports activities carried out between 1942 and 1958, the most notable in his public performance were his artistic works, most notably the manufacture of figures of giants and big heads for popular festivals.
