Eloy David Rojas Leandro (born March 25, 1967 in Caracas, Venezuela) was a professional boxer in the Featherweight division.

Rojas turned pro in 1986 and won the WBA and Lineal Featherweight Titles in 1993 by defeating Yong-Kyun Park by decision. He defended the titles six times before losing them to Wilfredo Vazquez in 1996 via TKO in a fight which he was leading on all cards. Rojas never challenged for a world title again, and retired in 2005 after a loss to Herman Ngoudjo.
