Ángel Iturriaga Barco (Logroño, 1974) is a Spanish writer and historian, professor in Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR). He is a doctor in contemporary history with a thesis named "El poder político y social en la historia del FC Barcelona". He is the author of several football history books.

In October 2013 he published biographical novel Paulino (Edicions Saldonar) with David Valero.[1] The two authors bring up the figure of Paulino Alcántara, known for his 369 goals in 257 games.[2] "It was necessary to make a biography of a great sports star like Paulino because it is one of the first superstars of the sport and the best Asian footballer of all time", stated the two authors.[3]
He now writes for Grup 14, an organisation dedicated to the improvement of Futbol Club Barcelona with the collaboration of all its supporters throughout the world.
