Juan Padilla Alfonso (born September 16, 1965 in Havana) was a member of the Gold Medal-winning Cuban team at the Olympics in 1992 and 1996.

In the 1988 Baseball World Cup, the 22-year-old was 1 for 6 and made one error in six chances as a backup to Antonio Pacheco at 2B and Luis Ulacia at SS.

With the gold medal game tied at three in the bottom of the 9th, he pinch-ran for Orestes Kindelan and came home on a single by Lazaro Vargas off Andy Benes to give Cuba a 4-3 come-from-behind win over Team USA.

He played six innings in five games as a defensive sub for Pacheco in the 1996 Olympics and singled in his lone at-bat, scoring a run.

He was with Cuba for game two of the 1999 Baltimore Orioles – Cuban national baseball team exhibition series.
