Felipe Angel Montemayor (born February 7, 1928) is a retired Mexican professional baseball player. The former outfielder played in 64 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball during 1953 and 1955 and all or parts of 14 years in his native country. Born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, and nicknamed "Clipper", he threw and batted left-handed; he was listed as 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and 185 pounds (84 kg).

Counting his service in the U.S. minor leagues, Montemayor played 21 seasons of professional baseball. His MLB career consisted of 28- (1953) and 36- (1955) game stints for the Pirates. Montemayor made his major league debut on April 14, 1953, and hit a fly-ball out against Joe Black of the Brooklyn Dodgers. His only two career home runs came in both games of a doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals on May 1, 1955.[1] The blows—each with one runner on base—were struck off Floyd Wooldridge (Game 1) and Gordon Jones (Game 2). During his MLB career Montemayor batted .173, with 26 hits; five doubles and three triples accompanied his two homers.[2]
