Leyre Monente Aicua (born 15 February 2000) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Alavés Gloriosas as a forward or attacking midfielder. She began her career with Athletic Club.

Having made her Primera División debut for Athletic aged 16 in 2016,[3] her early career was disrupted by serious injuries, including a torn anterior cruciate ligament plus other issues in 2017 which kept her out for more than a year,[4] and a shoulder problem which required surgery in late 2019[5] but then recurred in 2021,[6] just after she had re-established herself in the Athletic squad and been confirmed as having moved up from the B-team on a permanent basis.[4][7] She finally made a first appearance of the 2021–22 season as a substitute against Valencia on 2 April 2022.[8][9] She departed the club in May 2023[10] and signed for Alavés two months later.[11][12]

Monente was selected for the Spain age-group squads that won the UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship in 2015[2][1] and finished runners-up in 2016; she also claimed a bronze medal at the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[13]

Her experiences with injuries and the enforced breaks from playing led her to pursue a course in physiotherapy as a possible future career.[1]
