José Ramiro Funes Mori (Spanish pronunciation: ; born 5 March 1991) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a defender for Argentine Primera División club River Plate. He plays primarily as a centre-back but can also operate as a left-back and defensive midfielder.

Funes Mori was born in Mendoza. He emigrated with his family from Argentina to the United States in 2001. His father, Miguel, played professional football in Argentina with clubs such as Independiente Rivadavia and Club Atlético Argentino in the 1980s. In 2008, Funes Mori joined the FC Dallas youth team after his twin brother won the Sueño MLS talent competition, but spent less than a year playing for the side before moving back to Argentina.

Funes Mori made his international debut for Argentina in an international friendly against El Salvador in March 2015.

He was selected for his national squad at the Copa América Centenario and was part of the Argentine side that reached the final. The defender played in the final where Chile won 4–2 on penalties after the match finished in a goalless draw. He was not selected as one of the first four penalty takers. Funes Mori scored his first international goal on 6 October 2016 in a 2–2 draw against Peru, in a match where he also conceded a late penalty.

In May 2018, he was named in Argentina's preliminary 35-man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, but did not make the final 23.

Funes Mori is married to Rocío, the sister of former FC Dallas midfielder Mauro Díaz. His twin brother, Rogelio, is also a footballer and plays for Liga MX club UNAM and the Mexico national team as a striker.
