Rodolfo Antonio Zelaya García (born 3 July 1988) is a Salvadoran former professional footballer who played as a second striker.
In October 2013, Zelaya was banned from football for one year for his involvement in a match-fixing scandal with the El Salvador national team.
In July 2006, both Zelaya and Rúsvel Saravia were offered contracts to play for one of El Salvadors biggest clubs, Águila.
Zelaya went on to impress in his first season with the club and grew a fan base with both spectators and reporters for being one of El Salvador's most promising young strikers.
This switch lead to Pohl taking various players with him to Alianza whose rights he supposedly owned due to them being bought when he was president at Chalatenango.

On 30 January 2019, it was announced that Zelaya would join Major League Soccer club Los Angeles FC.
