Edgardo Guilbe Alomar (born 18 March 1966 in Ponce, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican former sprinter who specialized in the 200 metres. His personal best time was 20.53 seconds, achieved in July 1989 in San Juan.^[1]

He won the gold medal at the 1989 Central American and Caribbean Championships and silver medals at the 1990 Central American and Caribbean Games and the 1993 Central American and Caribbean Championships. He also competed at the 1988 Olympic Games and the 1993 World Championships without reaching the final.

In 2018, Edgardo Guilbe was credited with running a 21.95 200 meters and a 49.68 400 meters (even though he had not previously had a history of running this event). Those marks would have been significant improvements on Masters world records for a 52-year-old man. Subsequently, it has been discovered those marks were produced by Edgardo Guilbe Correa, his son.^[2]
