Mario Ramírez Torres is a former Major League Baseball shortstop. He played six seasons in the major leagues from 1980 until 1985, all coming off the bench. Known mainly for his defensive prowess, Ramírez had a career batting average of .192.

Ramírez was signed as an amateur free agent by the New York Mets in 1976. He played five seasons in their farm system, getting his first shot at the major leagues in April 1980. He played 18 games in two different stints in New York, going 5-for-24. He was left off the Mets' major league roster that winter, and was selected by the San Diego Padres in the Rule 5 Draft.

After two brief major league appearances in 1981 and 1982, Ramírez spent 1983 and 1984 as the Padres' primary reserve at shortstop, often coming in as a defensive replacement for Garry Templeton. He was released during spring training in 1986, ending his major league career.
