Wilfredo Negron (born November 13, 1973 in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico) is a professional boxer.

Wilfredo began boxing professionally in 1994, and has faced a number of tough opponents in his 13-year career, such as Zab Judah, Martese Logan, and Emanuel Augustus. He has challenged for a number of minor titles, winning the WBA Fedecentro lightweight and light welterweight. In his one shot at a major title, the IBF light welterweight world championship, challenging Judah, he lost by knockout in the 4th of 12 rounds.

Negron also beat a former world champion, a severely faded Juan Meza, by first round knockout in Meza's last fight, at age 41 in 1997.
