Bandido (born April 17, 1995) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado (masked professional wrestler). He is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he is the one-half of Brodido with Brody King and is a former AEW World Tag Team Champion. He also performs in AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), where he is the reigning ROH World Champion in his second reign, and in partner promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

Bandido is the cousin of Myzteziz Jr. and Magia Blanca. His younger brother Gravity is also a luchador. Bandido's real name is not publicly known, which is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico.

Bandido previously worked under the ring names "Magnífico II" and "Cielito" but since 2016, he has used the ring character Bandido, who wears a mask that incorporates a bandana covering the lower part of his face in the style of Wild West outlaw. Bandido regularly teamed with Flamita, forming a duo known as "Mexa Blood". Bandido is a one-time PWG World Champion, and with Flamita and Rey Horus he has held the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. Bandido has also achieved much success as a singles competitor, his feats including winning PWG's 2019 Battle of Los Angeles, and ROH's 2021 Survival of the Fittest tournaments. Bandido is a former world champion in the latter promotions, winning the PWG World Championship and Ring of Honor World Championship.
