Francisco Javier Farinós Zapata, Farinós (born 29 March 1978 in Valencia), is a Spanish football midfielder, who currently currently plays for Hércules CF.

A midfielder in more than one position, Farinós debuted as a 18-year old with hometown's Valencia CF first team. He was an undisputed starter from 1997-2000. During that period, Farinós earned his first international cap, in a 2-1 away friendly win against Poland.

In the summer 2000, Farinós caught the attention of Serie A's F.C. Internazionale Milano, where he would spend four years (with a Villarreal CF loan in between) without much success. In 2004-05 he returned to Spain, joining Real Mallorca.

In 2006-07, Farinós joined "Segunda División" side Hércules CF.

Internationally, he also competed in the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship.
