Liuba María Zaldívar Rojas (born 1993) is a Cuban-born triple jumper who moved to compete for Ecuador. She qualified in 2019 and she took a gold medal in the Triple Jump at the 2022 Bolivarian Games for her new country.
Zaldívar was born in 1993 in Banes near Holguin in Cuba. She started in athletics early and she took to distance running where she competed with boys as the only athletes available. She became the nation's triple-jumper after she was spotted by her teacher Eugenio Ayala. For a while she would invariable return with a medal when representing Cuba abroad.
In 2010 she missed out on competing at the Youth Olympics in Singapore and in 2016 she did not compete at the Rio Olympics. In both cases the cause was paperwork which was not completed in time.
