Francisco Gomez (born January 25, 1979 in Watsonville, California) is an American soccer player, who currently plays midfielder for the C.D. Chivas USA of Major League Soccer.

Gomez joined the Kansas City Wizards in 1999, after playing briefly with the California Jaguars of the A-League. He saw little playing time in his first two years, however - as a rookie, he appeared in only seven games, scoring one goal, while in his second year he appeared in 14 (seven starts), scoring two goals and one assist. Gomez began to see significantly increased playing time in 2001, when he appeared in 24 games, 16 of them starts, while scoring four goals and six assists. Gomez has kept something of a utility role in the last four years, able to play numerous positions, but not exactly integral to the team. In his six years with the team, Gomez has appeared in 114 games, registering 11 goals and 14 assists. After the 2004 season, Gomez was selected seventh overall in the MLS Expansion Draft by Chivas USA.

Although Gomez played a significant role for several of the United States youth national teams, he has yet to see a cap with the senior team. He captained the US in the 1995 FIFA Under-17 Championship, and was a significant part of the U-20 national team, playing in the 1999 World Youth Championship in Nigeria.
