Mario Luis Rodríguez Cobos (6 January 1938 – 16 September 2010), also known by the mononym Silo, was an Argentine writer and founder of the international volunteer organisation Humanist Movement.

As an active speaker, he authored books, short stories, articles, and studies on topics ranging from politics and society to psychology and spirituality. Despite his self-description as a writer, many regard him as a thinker and philosopher due to the wide array of subjects he addressed in his works.
