Luis Mario Cabrera Molina (born 9 July 1956 in La Rioja) is a retired Argentine footballer who played as a striker.
He played almost his entire career in Spain - twelve seasons in representation of three teams, namely Atlético Madrid.
Cabrera started his career in Argentina with Club Atlético Huracán in 1975, scoring 19 goals in two years. In 1978 he moved to Spain, starting out with CD Castellón in its second division.
In 1980–81, Cabrera joined Atlético Madrid, but struggled for most of his stay there, overshadowed by Mexican Hugo Sánchez; eventually, the pair complemented itself, combining for 33 La Liga goals in 1984–85, as the capital side finished second and won the domestic cup. After Sánchez's departure to Real Madrid, he played even more, and started in the following year's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final, lost to FC Dynamo Kyiv.
Towards the end of his career, Cabrera played for Cádiz CF and had a second spell with Castellón (helping it promote to the top level in his first year), retiring at 34 with 209 matches and 63 goals in Spain's main division.
