Carlos Alberto Ramírez Castillo (born November 6, 1976 in Mexico City) is a Mexican football player who, as of 2006, was playing for UANL Tigres. In Tigres, his shirt has the number eight. He is nicknamed "Tin-Tan" because of an apparent physical likeness to the Mexican actor.

He debuted with Atlante in 2003 and played for that team until 2005, scoring 15 goals in 4 seasons. He then came to Tigres in 2006 as part of an agreement that the team made to sign Sebastián González.

In Tigres, Carlos Ramírez became the amulet of victory, for even though he has only scored two goals in one season, those have been of incredible importance for the team. In March 12, 2006 he scored the winning goal at the last minute of the 81st Clásico Regiomontano, and on April 19 he also scored the winning goal, again at the last minute, of the Tigres v. Universidad Católica match of the Copa Libertadores de América group stage that eliminated the Chilean team and had Tigres qualify for round of 16.
