Juan Pablo Cervantes García (born 23 June 1992) is a Mexican Paralympic athlete.

Career

He represented Mexico at the 2020 Summer Paralympics, where he won a bronze medal in the 100 meters T54 event. Formerly a wheelchair basketballer, Cervantes García changed——to parathletism after his coach suggested him——to do it. He first represented the country at the Paralympics in London 2012, where he competed in the 100 m T54, 400 m T54 and 4 × 400 m T53–T54 events, "but did not classify in any."
