Jesús Tortosa Cabrera (born 21 December 1997 in Madrid) is a Spanish taekwondo athlete.

Tortosa first drew attention in March 2014 when he won the gold medal in the under 51 kg division at the World Junior Taekwondo Championships held in Taipei City, Taiwan.[1] In May 2014, Tortosa made his senior debut at the European Taekwondo Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan where he won bronze in the men's finweight (under 54 kg) division.[2]

In June 2015, the 17-year-old boy competed in the inaugural European Games held in Baku, Azerbaijan. Originally a finweight, Tortosa captured the silver medal in the men's 58 kg division.[3] Although he lost to Rui Bragança of Portugal 6-5 in the final,[4] he dominated three-time European champion Levent Tuncat of Germany 17-5 in the semifinals.[5]

In 2016, he won the silver medal in the 2016 European Taekwondo Olympic Qualification Tournament, in Istanbul, Turkey, losing to gold medalist Ron Atias of Israel in the final.[6]
