Raúl Tamudo Montero (born 19 October 1977 in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Barcelona, Catalonia) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Rayo Vallecano as a striker.

An icon at Espanyol, he captained the club for almost a decade, playing in more than 400 official games – winning two Copa del Rey trophies – and being the club's all-time top goal scorer.

A product of local side RCD Espanyol's youth ranks, Tamudo served two second division six-month loans before finally settling in 1999–2000. From there on, he became an undisputed starter for the team, never netting in single digits during nine La Liga seasons, while helping the Catalans to two Spanish Cups: in the 2000 final, he scored by stealing the ball from Atlético de Madrid goalkeeper Toni Jiménez, with his head; he also played a vital role in the 2006 edition, scoring in the second minute of the match and subsequently assisting Luis García on the second Espanyol goal.

Tamudo was close to signing with Rangers in 2000, only to see the move fail at the last minute due to a failed medical. Two days later, he scored a hat-trick in the UEFA Cup match against Grazer AK (4–0 home win, 4–1 aggregate).
