Ángel Domingo López Ruano, Ángel (born 10 March 1981 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria), is a Spanish footballer currently playing for Villarreal CF.

After first appearing professionally with hometown UD Las Palmas, playing 64 (32 each) first division contests from 2000-2002, Ángel made a name for himself as stamina-filled wingback at Celta de Vigo, joining the Galician outfit in the 2003 January transfer window. He appeared in 15 league during the second part of the season, as Celta achieved a UEFA Champions League qualification spot. However, with Ángel as first-choice, they would be relegated in 2003-04.

On the last day of 2007-08's summer transfer deadline, Ángel joined Villarreal CF. During the season where the team dubbed the "Yellow Submarine" achieved a best-ever runner-up league position, he split right-back duties with veteran Javi Venta.

Ángel made his international debut for the Spain national football team in a friendly 0-1 defeat against Romania on 15 November 2006, in a match played in Cádiz.
