Francisco Javier Gómez Noya (born 25 March 1983) is a Galician triathlete.

Born to Spanish immigrants (both from Galicia) in Basel, Switzerland, he soon returned to Spain and now lives in Pontevedra, Galicia. He won the 2008 ITU Triathlon World Championships in Vancouver.

The pre-race favourite to win the 2008 Summer Olympics men's triathlon on Tuesday, August 19, Gómez, suffering from a stitch, placed 4th, 20.64 seconds behind Jan Frodeno of Germany, who won the gold. With 300 meters to go, Frodeno was the leader of the group made of 2008 world champion Javier Francisco Gomez of Spain, Athens 2004 silver medalist Bevan Docherty of New Zealand and Sydney 2000 gold medalist Simon Whitfield of Canada. Whitfield opened up the sprint to test the hearts of his competition. Only Frodeno could respond and sprinted away with 50 meters from the finish to claim the gold medal in a time of one hour, 48 minutes and 53 seconds. Canadian Simon Whitfield took the silver medal five seconds behind, and New Zealand's Bevan Docherty won the bronze medal 12 seconds back. In the 2010 ITU Triathlon World Championship final in Budapest, Gómez came second to British triathlete Alistair Brownlee, but despite the loss in the final, he won the Championship overall.

At the 2012 Summer Olympics men's triathlon on Tuesday, August 7, Gómez won the silver medal, placing second, 11 seconds behind Alistair Brownlee.

ITU Competitions

In the nine years from 2002 to 2010, Gómez took part in 57 ITU competitions and achieved 54 top ten positions, among which 23 gold medals, 12 silver medals and 4 bronze medals of Continental and World Championships and Cups – a record hard to be broken by future triathletes.

In 2010, Gómez was the number 1 in the World Championship Series ranking, in 2009 he was number 2, his only rivals being the Brownlee brothers Alistair and Jonathan, with whom he represents Sartrouville in the French Club Championship Series Lyonnaise des Eaux. In 2003 and in 2008, Gómez was Triathlon World Champion (U23 and Elite category respectively), in 2007 and 2009 he was the Elite European Champion, in 2007 vice World Champion, in 2010 vice European Champion, and in 2011 vice World Sprint Champion. At the Olympic Games in Beijing 2008 Gómez placed 4th and 2nd in London 2012
