Francisco Manuel "Fran" Rico Castro (born 3 August 1987 in Portonovo, Pontevedra, Galicia) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Granada CF as a midfielder.

Rico joined local Pontevedra CF's youth ranks at the age of 14, making his senior debut on 18 December 2005, in a Segunda División B match against CD San Isidro. Mainly a substitute in his first year, he became an important part of the squad in the following seasons.

In the 2008 summer, Rico joined Real Madrid, being assigned to the reserve team, also in the third division. He made his debut on 31 August, scoring the first goal in a 2–0 win at UD Vecindario. On 14 September, in only his third appearance, against CD Alfaro, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury only eight minutes after the start of the match, being lost for the rest of the season.

Thirteen months after his injury, Rico played his first game of the season, against RSD Alcalá. On 8 November 2009, less than one month later, he scored twice against Gimnástica de Torrelavega, in a 4–2 home victory.
