Rolando Molina (?−23 October 2020[1]) was a Chilean lawyer and football leader. A man close to Augusto Pinochet, in the 1980s he defined himself as an 'anticommunist that supports to the Polish workers and to the Afghan people'.[2]

Among the supporters of Universidad de Chile, he is controversially remembered for wasting his investment in a meccano stadium that would be the team's complex.[3] Similarly, there are different authors that point to the same thing, like Daniel Matamala and Carlos González Lucay. On the other hand, Molina is also remembered for having left a deficit of more than $100 million.[4]
