Felix Rodríguez (born September 9, 1972 in Montecristi, Dominican Republic) is a relief pitcher who formerly played in Major League Baseball.

Rodriguez was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1989 as a free agent, originally as a catcher. He batted .291 as a catcher, but his arm was so impressive that the organization moved him to the mound in 1993. He began his career in 1995 with the Dodgers, was on waivers throughout 1996, was picked up by the Cincinnati Reds, where he played in 1997. In 1998 he played for the Arizona Diamondbacks, then with the San Francisco Giants from 1999-2003. He started 2004 with the Giants before being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. He began 2005 with the Yankees, after being traded from the Phillies for Center Fielder Kenny Lofton in a one-for-one deal. In spring training 2006, he signed with the Washington Nationals, but was released at the end of the season. He subsequently signed a minor league deal with the Marlins but didn't make the team and was released on March 28, 2007. He finished the 2007 season playing for the Kia Tigers, a Korean League team.
