José Ángel Antelo Paredes (born 7 May 1987) is a Spanish politician and a retired professional basketball player.
He played as power forward, and made his debut for Real Madrid in Euroleague aged 16, as well as winning the 2004 FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship for Spain. After playing for several clubs between Liga ACB and LEB, he joined UCAM Murcia of the top flight in 2012, staying there until his retirement through injury in 2019.
After retiring from basketball, Antelo was elected to the city council in Murcia in 2019. In 2023, he was Vox's lead candidate in the 2023 Murcian regional election. The party came third, and he was named vice president of the Council of Government of the Region of Murcia, led by the People's Party (PP). Nine months later, he resigned his government offices as part of a nationwide rupture between the PP and Vox. He was expelled from Vox's parliamentary group in March 2026 and retained his seat in the Regional Assembly of Murcia as an independent.
