Edwin Daniel Bellorín (born February 21, 1982 in San Félix, Venezuela) is a Major League Baseball catcher for the Colorado Rockies.

Bellorín was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 10, 1998 as a non drafted free agent. He spent 6 years in the Dodgers minor league system, never playing more than 100 games in a season. He declared free agency on October 15, 2006 and would later sign with the Colorado Rockies for the 2007 season. He began the year with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, the Rockies Triple-A affiliate. On August 6, 2007, he had his contract purchased by the big league club. He replaced struggling catcher Chris Ianetta on the active roster.

In his first major league game, he made one plate appearance, hitting into a double play, then injured his hamstring running to first. He was placed on the DL afterwards.[1]
