Aldo Antonio Bobadilla Ávalos (born April 20, 1976 in Pedro Juan Caballero) is a football player from Paraguay who plays as a goalkeeper.

Bobadilla started his career at Paraguayan club Cerro Porteño, then moved to Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata of Argentina. He returned to Paraguay to play for Club Libertad until mid 2006, when he signed for Argentine Boca Juniors.

Bobadilla was part of the Paraguayan national football team that competed in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He went as a substitute and was not expected to play. However, Bobadilla had to replace starting goalkeeper Justo Villar after he got injured in Paraguay's first match. Surprisingly he did very well and became one of the most important players for Paraguay in the tournament, creating the chance to move to the Argentine first division club Club Atlético Boca Juniors, with whom he signed for the 2006/07 season.
