Sergio Manzanera Lloret (born 10 November 1950), known simply as Sergio as a player, is a Spanish former footballer who played as a forward.
He played 182 La Liga games and scored 12 goals in the league, for Valencia and Racing Santander, and won the league with the former in 1970–71. In September 1975, he and Racing teammate Aitor Agirre were prosecuted in the final weeks of Francoist Spain for protesting against the last use of capital punishment in Spain.
