Armando "Mandy" Romero (born October 29, 1967 in Miami, Florida) is a former Major League Baseball catcher.
Drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 19th round of the 1988 MLB amateur draft, Romero would make his Major League Baseball debut with the San Diego Padres on July 15, 1997, and appear in his final game during the 2003.
Romero was notable for his role as a replacement player during spring training prior to the 1995. Replacement players took over for professional baseball players when the Major League Baseball Players Association went on strike. The strike was resolved at the end of spring training. Romero would return to Major League Baseball with the San Diego Padres in 1997, however, was blacklisted and not permitted to join the Major League Baseball Players Association.
