Vicente Romo Navarro (born April 12, 1943 in Santa Rosalía, Baja California Sur, Mexico) is a former professional baseball pitcher. A right-hander, Romo played all or part of eight seasons in Major League Baseball between 1968 and 1982, primarily as a relief pitcher. He had an extensive career in Mexico, where his career spanned 25 seasons from 1962–86, and he was elected to the Salón de la Fama del Beisbol Profesional de México (the Mexican Professional Baseball Hall of Fame) in 1992. He is the older brother of fellow major league pitcher Enrique Romo.

Romo, who was nicknamed "Huevo" (meaning Egg in Spanish), began his professional career with the Tigres de Aguascalientes in the now-defunct Mexican Center League. He played for the Tigres del México in 1963–64, and was purchased from them by the Cleveland Indians on October 5, 1964.

After three seasons in the minor leagues, mostly with the Portland Beavers Romo was selected in the Rule 5 draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers. He made his major league debut in the second game of the 1968 season, pitching one scoreless inning against the New York Mets. After going two weeks without appearing in a game, Romo was returned to the Indians on April 26. Romo was sent back to Portland, then was recalled at the end of June. During the last three months of the season, Romo appeared in 40 games for the Indians, posting a team-best 12 saves and a 1.62 earned run average. The book "Portrait of a Franchise: An Intimate Look at Cleveland Indians Baseball During the Rockin' Sixties" by Doug Kurkul includes a bio of Romo, and recounts the story of how Indians pitching coach Jack Sanford discovered two flaws in Romo's delivery. Once corrected, Romo became an effective major league pitcher.
