Alberto Rafael Garrido García (3 September 1949 – 4 December 2007) was an Argentine–Venezuelan journalist, political analyst and writer known for his works on Hugo Chávez.

[1] The focus of a better part of his career, his extensive knowledge on Chávez led Venezuelan media to dub him a "Chavólogo".

His activism led to him fleeing Argentina and settling in Venezuela, where he finished high school at the Liceo Libertador in Mérida.

[6] He was also an editorial advisor and political editor at Reporte and member of the directive board of Relevo magazine, and served as the Argentina correspondent of El Diario de Caracas during the Trial of the Juntas.

[9] His views and positions were variously described as either pro-Chávez and anti-Chávez by supporters and detractors of the late president;[2] Chávez himself considered Garrido's writing to be "unbiased".
