Ramón Luis Vázquez (born August 21, 1976 in Aibonito, Puerto Rico) is a infielder in Major League Baseball who plays for the Texas Rangers. Previously, Vázquez played with the Seattle Mariners (mlby|2001), San Diego Padres (mlby|2002-mlby|2004), Boston Red Sox (mlby|2005), and Cleveland Indians (2005-mlby|2006). He bats left-handed and throws right-handed.

Vázquez became a minor league free agent after the 2006 season, and on November 17, 2006, signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers. Midseason injuries to Rangers third baseman Hank Blalock and second baseman Ian Kinsler forced Vázquez into an everyday role for the first time since the mlby|2003 season.

On August 22, mlby|2007, Vazquez had seven RBI with two homers in a record-setting 30-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. [cite web | title = "Rangers break record." | date = 2007-08-22 | publisher = MLB.com | url = http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/news/wrap.jsp?ymd=20070822&content_id=2163718&vkey=wrapup2005&fext=.jsp&team=away&c_id=tex]

On May 12, mlby|2008, against his former team, the Seattle Mariners, Vázquez hit a walk-off home run in the 10th inning off Brandon Morrow.

On July 29, 2008, Vázquez victimized the Mariners again with last at-bat heroics. After his third error of the game allowed the Seattle to take a 10-9 lead in the top of the 9th, Vázquez doubled to right-center field off Mariners closer J. J. Putz, just out of Ichiro's reach, to drive in 2 runs as the Rangers won the game 11-10. In a postgame interview with Jim Knox, broadcast over the stadium speakers, Vázquez thanked all the fans that were cheering him on despite his three errors, and also told those fans who booed him to "Take that, *BLEEP*!" (Vázquez did not curse, but rather sounded out the bleep.)
