Eneko Llanos Burguera (born 30 November 1976 in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Alava) is a Spanish triathlete.

Llanos competed at the first Olympic triathlon at the 2000 Summer Olympics. He took twenty-third place with a total time of 1:50:48.35. Four years later, at the 2004 Summer Olympics, Llanos competed again, moving up in the ranking to twentieth place. His time on the more difficult Athens course was 1:54:52.37.^{[citation needed]}

He has also been a top-10 finisher at Hawaii Ironman on three occasions.^{[citation needed]} In 2008 Eneko became a recognized competitor for the Ironman Hawaii crown. After a fierce duel with Chris Mccormack in Wildflower, where he finished 19 seconds behind Mccormack, and when the scenario repeated itself in Frankfurt, it was clear^{[according to whom?]} that Eneko was a serious contender. He was then mentioned on many occasions as one of the pre-favourites, with Mccormack, Craig Alexander and Normann Stadler.^{[citation needed]}

Again it was a 2nd place, and again it was to a time difference of 3 minutes and 5 seconds. ^{[citation needed]}

He is vegetarian.^[1]

He was champion of the first Abu Dhabi International Triathlon.^{[citation needed]}
