Pedro Felix Borbón Marte (born November 15, 1967 in Mao, Dominican Republic) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. He played for nine seasons (1992 - 2003) for four teams, including four seasons for the Atlanta Braves, and three seasons for the Toronto Blue Jays. Borbón was mainly a relief pitcher.

Pedro Borbón, Jr. played on the 1995 Atlanta Braves, who won the World Series that year. Pedro pitched one important inning in the 1995 World Series. The Braves were leading 2 games to 1 over the Cleveland Indians, and were leading the 4th game going into the 9th inning. However, the lead Braves closer, Mark Wohlers, was shaky and allowed the Indians to score a run in that 9th inning without recording any outs. Pedro Borbón, Jr. then came in to relieve Wohlers, and promptly retired three straight batters to save the game for Atlanta, and put them up 3 games to 1. Some believe that without that performance, the Atlanta Braves may not have won the 1995 World Series.

Borbón's father, Pedro Borbón was also an MLB pitcher, playing for the Cincinnati Reds and 3 other teams from 1969 to 1980.
