Renyel Eligio Pinto (born July 8, 1982 in Cúpira, Venezuela) is a left-handed Major League Baseball pitcher who plays for the Florida Marlins. He made his major league debut on May 18, mlby|2006.

In by|2004, Pinto was named the Cubs' minor league pitcher of the year, after going 11-8 with a Southern League-leading 2.92 ERA while pitching for Double-A West Tenn. He earned mid-season and post-season SL all-star honors and was promoted to Triple-A Iowa. Pinto was acquired by Florida, along with pitchers Sergio Mitre and Ricky Nolasco, in the trade that sent outfielder Juan Pierre to the Chicago Cubs in mlby|2005.

In four scoreless innings for the Marlins in 2006, Pinto struck out three and allowed two hits before being optioned to the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes on May 30. He was called back up to the major leagues when the teams expanded to their 40-man rosters.

In mlby|2007, Pinto made his mark in the Marlins bullpen being used as a very good situational lefty early in the season. He excelled against lefties and was difficult on righties with his improving changeup.

In mlby|2008, Pinto stepped back into his situational lefty role, but he has been used many times as a multi-inning reliever and was even considered for a rotation spot during spring training. He has excelled during this season in all the roles he's been used in.
