Alfredo Silverio (born May 6, 1987) is an outfielder who is with the Miami Marlins organization.

Silverio was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2007 after playing for their team in the Dominican Summer League. He joined the Gulf Coast Dodgers for 2007, then played with the Great Lakes Loons (2008–2009) and Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino in 2010 before a late-season assignment to the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts. In 2011, with the Lookouts, he hit .306 with 16 home runs and 85 RBIs. He was selected to the Southern League postseason all-star team and represented the Dodgers at the 2011 All-Star Futures Game.

Silverio was added to the Dodgers' 40-man roster on Nov. 2, 2011. He was subsequently involved in a serious offseason car accident in the Dominican Republic and suffered injuries to his back, shoulder, elbow and neck as well as concussion symptoms and was not able to participate at all in Spring Training. On May 9, 2012, he underwent Tommy John Surgery as a result of injuries he suffered in the car accident, the surgery would cause him to miss the entire 2012 season. On Nov. 1, 2012, he was outrighted to Triple-A and removed from the 40-man roster.

The Miami Marlins selected Silverio from the Dodgers on December 6, 2012 in the Rule 5 draft.
