José Manuel Jurado Marín, Jurado (born 29 June 1986 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz), is a Spanish footballer, currently with RCD Mallorca, on loan from Atlético Madrid. Jurado is able to play as an attacking midfielder or on the left wing, but generally enjoys just sitting behind a sole striker.

A product of Real Madrid's youth system, Jurado was one of Real Madrid Castilla's most important players, alongside Javi García. He debuted with the first team on October 29, 2005, in a 2-0 away win against Real Betis, and would make five appearances overall, also fielding against Olympiakos in the UEFA Champions League.

On August 4, 2006, Jurado moved to city rivals Atlético Madrid for a reported fee of 3 million euros, signing a four-year contract. However, like with Álvaro Arbeloa before him, Real Madrid included a "special clause" in Jurado's contract, having the option of buying him back at the end of the 07/08 season for free.

After playing in 33 league games in 2006-07, mainly due to serious injuries to teammates Maximiliano Rodríguez and Martin Petrov, Jurado appeared sparingly in the following season, and would be loaned to RCD Mallorca in July 2008.
