Rodolfo Gilbert Pizarro Thomas (born 15 February 1994) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Liga MX club Pachuca, on loan from Juárez.

Pizarro made his professional debut with Pachuca, where he spent four years before transferring to Guadalajara. Although his stint at the club was brief, he played a key role in helping them secure three trophies, including the domestic double. Just eighteen months later, he joined Monterrey in what was, at the time, the most expensive signing in the league's history. Pizarro later continued his career with Inter Miami, AEK Athens, Mazatlán and Juárez.

He has participated for the U-21, the U-23, and the senior levels of Mexico's national team. He has represented Mexico at the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 2017, 2019, and 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cups.

Pizarro started his youth career with Orinegros Ciudad Madero, and joined the Pachuca Youth System in 2011. Pizarro made his debut with the senior team on 14 September 2012 coming in on as a substitute in the 71st minute in a 3–2 win over Morelia. At the time of his debut, he played as a right-back.

On 19 February 2013, during a Copa MX group stage match against Dorados de Sinaloa, he would score his first goal in a 5–2 loss.

Pizarro, along with fellow youth system teammates Hirving Lozano and Érick Gutiérrez, proved to be vital in Pachuca's winning of the Clausura 2016 championship.

In December 2016, Pachuca announced the transfer of Pizarro to Guadalajara in a deal reportedly worth up to $15 million, which also involved Víctor Guzmán permanently joining Pachuca. On 7 January 2017, Pizarro made his debut against Club Universidad Nacional, playing the whole match in which Guadalajara won 2–1. A week later, Pizarro scored his first goal for Guadalajara against Monterrey from a long range shot, the game ended 2–2.

In April, Guadalajara won the Clausura Copa MX final against Morelia. The following month, Pizarro would prove to be vital during the Clausura championship, managing to score in the first leg of the final against Tigres UANL as Guadalajara would go on to win the title, finishing an eleven-year-long drought of league titles. As a result, Guadalajara won their first Double since the 1969–70 season.
