Julio Antonio Elícegui Cans (5 December 1910 — 31 August 2001) was a Spanish footballer who played as a forward.
Club career Elícegui began his career playing youth football for Arin Sport, Azkoyen, and Beasain, before signing for Real Unión in 1930. In 1931, the club changed its name to Unión Irún, as a result of the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic and was relegated to the Segunda División at the end of the 1931–32 La Liga season. Elícegui finished the 1932–33 Segunda División season as top scorer, with 30 goals from 18 games, including scoring five for Unión Irún in a 6–0 victory over Castellón on 12 March 1933.
In the summer of 1933, Elícegui signed for Athletic Madrid for 50,000 Ptas, winning promotion from the Segunda División in his first season at the club, scoring 15 league goals in the process. In 1936, Elícegui's career was put on hold, due to the Spanish Civil War, where Elícegui took up a colonel role in northern Spain. In 1939, following the resumption of football, Elícegui remained at Athletic Madrid, now renamed Athletic Aviación, winning the 1939–40 La Liga title.
