Manuel Pérez de Guzmán Urzaiz (9 August 1888 – 22 January 1957) was a Spanish footballer who played as a midfielder for Recreativo de Huelva between 1905 and 1907, and again between 1910 and 1914.

He later served as the president of Recreativo de Huelva from 1935 to 1939, thus becoming only the second former Huelva player to become the club's president.

On 16 July 1913, Pérez de Guzmán married in the Church of San Miguel in Jerez de la Frontera, to María Dolores Moreno de Arteaga, and the couple had eleven children, Gregorio (1914–1978), Manuel (1915–1994), Francisco (1916–1995), Antonio, Cecilia (1919–1995), María Teresa, María Dolores (1922–1976), Luis Alfonso, Julia (1924–1974), José, María Concepción. for instance, all of the six Pérez de Guzmán brothers played football at their hometown club, Recreativo de Huelva between 1903 and 1920.

Together with William Waterson, Antonio Tellechea, Ángel Padilla, and Tomás Estrada, he was a member of the Huelva squad that participated in the 1906 Copa del Rey, which was contested by only three teams, the other two being Athletic Bilbao and Madrid FC (currently known as Real Madrid), with the latter winning it.
