Edgard Alexis Velazquez Clemente (born December 15, 1975 in Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder who is currently a free agent. He is the nephew of Hall of Fame baseball legend Roberto Clemente.

Clemente was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 10th round of the 1993 MLB amateur draft as "Edgard Velazquez" (sometimes spelled "Velasquez") and was known by that name until just prior to the 1998 season. He was ranked #71 in Baseball America's top 100 prospects for 1997. Clemente made his Major League Baseball debut with the Rockies on September 10, 1998, and most recently played for the Anaheim Angels on July 31, 2000.
