Sergio Rodríguez (born August 19, 1985 in Guadalajara, Jalisco) is a Mexican footballer who currently plays as goalkeeper for Club Universidad de Guadalajara on loan from CD Guadalajara.

Rodríguez replaced starting goalkeeper Luis Ernesto Michel for the 2008 Mexican Apertura season, after Michel broke his forearm while playing the Superliga against Atlante. Sergio made his debut on July 28, 2008 against Cruz Azul. Having not even touched the ball in the game, Rodríguez stopped a penalty kick from Miguel Sabah during the second minute, making the stop his first ever play in the Primera División de México. The future seemed promising for the young goalkeeper, but it quickly turned sour, as he received 17 goals in 9 games. He also allowed 5 goals in a friendly against FC Barcelona.

Rodríguez was later relegated to the bench, due to the many mistakes he made and the goals allowed. He was replaced by Víctor Hugo Hernández.
