Miguel Jesús Cairo [ki'-row] (born May 4, 1974) is a Venezuelan former professional baseball infielder and coach who currently serves as the infield coach for the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball (MLB). He played for nine different teams in a 17-year career in MLB, from 1996 to 2012. During his playing days, Cairo stood 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall and weighed 225 pounds (102 kg), batting and throwing right-handed. While primarily a second baseman, Cairo was able to play all the infield positions and as a corner outfielder. He was also used for pinch-hitting duties late in his career.

Cairo was interim manager for the Chicago White Sox in the latter part of the 2022 season as manager Tony La Russa stepped away due to health concerns. He became the interim manager of the Washington Nationals in July 2025 after the team fired Dave Martinez. Cairo was briefly the bench coach of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2013 and has worked as a coach and instructor for several teams since retiring as a player.
