Guillermo "Memo" Gonzalez (born January 4, 1986 in Paramount, California) is an American soccer player, who last played midfielder for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer.

Gonzalez graduated from the Bradenton Academy in 2003 (the same class as Eddie Gaven and Freddy Adu) and became one of the youngest players in MLS history to be drafted when the Galaxy chose him as a Project-40 player with the eighth overall pick of the 2003 MLS SuperDraft. Guillermo spent most of his first year in the pros with the Under-17 US national team, playing at the Under-17 World Championship in Finland.

In his four years in MLS, Gonzalez did not see much playing time due to youth team commitments, a cluttered Galaxy midfield and lackluster performances in his limited appearances. Over his first two seasons, he played 12 games, and played none at all during his third and fourth seasons. He was waived by the Galaxy during the 2007 pre-season.
