Ramon A. Dominguez (born November 24, 1976 in Caracas, Venezuela) is an Eclipse Award-winning champion jockey in American Thoroughbred horse racing.
Dominguez began riding horses at age 16 in his native Venezuela in show jumping then turned to riding thoroughbreds in flat racing events. He emigrated to the United States where he began riding at Florida's Hialeah Park Race Track in 1996.
