Rodolfo Blanco (born June 14, 1966) is a Colombian former professional boxer who held the International Boxing Federation (IBF) flyweight *le in 1992.

Blanco became a professional boxer in 1982. In 1987 he challenged Myung Woo Yuh for the World Boxing *ociation light flyweight *le, losing by an eighth-round knockout. In 1990 he once again challenged for a world *le, this time in the flyweight cl*. Northern Irish boxer Dave McAuley defeated Blanco by a unanimous decision to retain the IBF *le. Two years later, on June 11, 1992, McAuley and Blanco met again, this time with Blanco prevailing by a unanimous decision and taking the *le.

Blanco lost the *le in his first defense when Thai Pichit Sitbangprachan knocked him out in three rounds on November 11, 1992. Blanco never won another world championship, although he did win the North American Boxing Federation super flyweight *le in 1997. The next year he challenged Johnny Tapia for the IBF and WBO super flyweight *les, losing in twelve rounds.

Blanco continued to fight until 2002.
