Sebastián Pinto Perurena (born 5 February 1986) is a Chilean footballer who currently plays for Bursaspor. He was signed on a free transfer in December 2007 from Universidad de Chile where he played since making his professional debut in 2002. Pinto goes by the nickname "El Tanque" (The tank). He is the son of the journalist and television presenter Carlos Pinto.

His debut on Chilean national team was on 2006 in an unofficial friendly against the Aragon official football team. He returned later in 2011, in a friendly against Paraguay where he scored a hat-trick (one goal on a penalty shot).

He was signed by French club AS Nancy of the Ligue 1, however he was sparingly used as a substitute, playing only once in the starting lineup.

Argentine Primera club Godoy Cruz signed Pinto to a 1-year contract, with an option to extend if Godoy Cruz manage to avoid relegation at the end of the 2009 Clausura.
