Heliodoro Gustines (born 1940 in Panama City, Panama) is a retired Panamanian-born jockey and horse trainer. In 1967, TIME magazine called him "the best grass-course rider in the United States."[1]

Gustines is best known as a jockey of U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Forego whom he rode in 31 consecutive races, winning 21 of them.[2] The most important win in his riding career came in an American Classic Triple Crown race on June 1, 1968, when he rode Stage Door Johnny to victory in 2:27 1/5 in the Belmont Stakes.[3] The following year, aboard Sharp-Eyed Quillo, he won the second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, the Prince of Wales Stakes.[4]

After retiring as a jockey, Heliodoro Gustines took up training.[5]
