Manuel Enrique Mejuto González (born 16 April 1965 in La Felguera) is a Spanish football referee. He is known for refereeing two matches in the 2004 UEFA European Football Championship in Portugal. He has also refereed three UEFA Cup matches and thirty-seven UEFA Champions League matches in his career, which include the 2005 Final between Liverpool F.C. and AC Milan.
Mejuto received heavy criticism following a vital UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying match between Scotland and Italy on 17 November 2007. Scotland had to win in order to qualify, but the match ended with an Italian win following the referee's decision to award Italy a free kick that the Scotland manager Alex McLeish described as "unbelievable". The game also included a "goal" for Italy that was incorrectly ruled offside, and a goal for Scotland that should have been ruled offside.
At the Euro 2008 finals, Mejuto dismissed the managers of both teams, Joachim Löw and Josef Hickersberger, from the touchline and into the stands at the end of the first half of the Group B match between Austria and Germany on 16 June 2008, "for what appeared to be an ongoing spat with the fourth official", according to the BBC.
