Olivier Monterrubio (born August 8, 1976 in Gaillac) is a French football player, who currently plays for RC Lens. He is an accomplished left winger, but he has also been featured as a striker and attacking midfielder in the past. He specializes in set-pieces, especially at penalty-taking.
Monterrubio started his professional career at Nantes in 1996. Product of the famed Centre of Formation of Nantes, he was in the same crop of players such as Mickaël Landreau, now of Paris Saint-Germain. He was an essentian part of the squad in the 1998-99 season, and his winning penalty handed Nantes the Coupe de France title in 1999. In the next season, Monterrubio became a Ligue 1 winner with Les Canaries.
In the summer, Monterrubio signed for fierce rivals Stade Rennais. He has made a big impact since joining the club, becoming one of their key players. He established a deadly partnership with Swiss striker Alexander Frei, now of Borussia Dortmund. In the 2004-2005 season, he led Ligue 1 in assists while Frei was the top scorer. Such was his influence, that he has inherited the captain's armband from Cyril Jeunechamp. In January 2007, he signed for RC Lens in a swap deal involving Olivier Thomert.
On February 3, 2007 he played his first Ligue 1 match for Lens against Valenciennes.
In his prime, Monterrubio was among the finest players of his unique kind. However, he has not won a single cap for his nation as of yet. He has, though, received three call-ups to train for the national team.
