Rodolfo Almeyda Morando (10 June 1923 – 12 July 2006) was an Argentine, naturalized Chilean, footballer who played as a midfielder or defender, usually in the position of centre-half.

Almeyda played his early career in Argentina for Avellaneda Racing Club, and transferred to Chile in 1944.

In Argentina as well as the early years in Chile he played as a central midfielder, but later in his career, during his period in Palestino, he moved to the role of centre-back, and was known in particular for his technique and ability in the air.

Famously he was part of the team that beat Brazil 4–1 during the 1956 South American Championship in Uruguay, helping his side to a second-place finish in the tournament.
