Miguel Eduardo Olivo (born July 15, 1978 in Villa Vasquez, Dominican Republic) is a Major League Baseball catcher for the Kansas City Royals. Olivo is 6'0" tall and weighs 220 pounds. He bats and throws right-handed.

Olivo was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Oakland Athletics in 1996 and played in the A's minor-league system through 2000. In December, 2000, he was traded to the Chicago White Sox for Chad Bradford, an episode recounted in a chapter of the popular baseball/business book Moneyball, although Olivo was mentioned only in passing.

He made his major league debut on September 15, 2002 with the Chicago White Sox and played 6 games that year. He was traded from the Sox to the Seattle Mariners in June of 2004 along with Jeremy Reed in exchange for Freddy Garcia. He then wound up on the San Diego Padres in 2005 and the Florida Marlins in 2006 and 2007.

In 2007, he had the lowest fielding percentage of all NL catchers, .986.

Olivo was not offered a new contract by the Marlins and became a free agent on December 12, 2007. On December 27, 2007, Olivo signed a one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals.
