Xabier "Xabi" Prieto Argarate (born 29 August 1983) is a Spanish former footballer who played mainly as a right midfielder. A player of good dribbling skills, he was also a penalty kick specialist.
He spent his entire professional career with Real Sociedad, playing in more than 500 competitive matches for the club.
Born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Prieto was a graduate of the youth system at his hometown club Real Sociedad, having joined from school aged 16 and spent time on loan with local amateurs CD Hernani. He made his senior debut in 2002 with the reserves, helping them to achieve promotion to Segunda División B in his first season.
After starting the next campaign with the B-side, Prieto made his made his first-team debut on 8 October 2003, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 away win against Real Oviedo for the Copa del Rey. His La Liga bow took place 18 days later, coming off the bench in a 1–0 home victory over Navarrese neighbours CA Osasuna; he would go on to collect a further eight substitute appearances – seven of them late in the game – during that season. However, on 23 May of the following year, with the league's outcome already decided, he profited from his second start to score twice against Real Madrid in a 4–1 away success, one of the goals coming from the penalty spot.
