Iker Muniain Goñi (Basque: , Spanish: ; born 19 December 1992) is a Spanish football manager and former player who played mainly as a winger but also as a forward. He now manages CD Derio in the fifth tier of Spanish professional football.
He began his professional career with Athletic Bilbao, debuting aged 16 in 2009 as their youngest player in a competitive match. Due to his style of play and stature, as a teenager he was dubbed "the Spanish Messi" by the media. He helped the team reach the final of the UEFA Europa League in 2012 and played in Copa del Rey finals in 2012, 2020 and 2021, but finished on the losing side each time. In 2022 he became the sixth player to make 500 appearances for the club, and lifted the Spanish Cup as captain in 2024, a few months before leaving to end a 19-year association. Following his departure, he joined San Lorenzo of Argentina.
Muniain made 59 appearances for Spain at youth level, winning the European Under-21 Championship in 2011 and 2013. He also featured at the 2012 Olympics, in the same year as his senior Spain debut. He was selected again in 2019, gaining a second international cap seven years after the first.
