Cándido Maldonado Guadarrama (born September 5, 1960) is a Puerto Rican former Major League Baseball outfielder who played from 1981 to 1995 for the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, Cleveland Indians, Milwaukee Brewers, Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs, and Texas Rangers.

Although Maldonado had statistically good seasons in San Francisco, he was involved in one of the most infamous plays in Giants history.

In game 6 of the 1987 National League Championship Series, he lost Tony Peña's 2nd inning fly ball in the lights.

Maldonado was noted as a good home run hitter who did not usually hit for a high batting average, finishing at .254 for his MLB career.

Maldonado provided color commentary for ESPN Deportes' coverage of the World Baseball Classic and regular season games.
