Franklin Erasmo Lobos Ramírez (born June 2, 1957 in Copiapó) is a retired Chilean footballer. Lobos debuted in 1980 for Regional Atacama, and retired in 1995, playing for the same club he started his career with. He was nicknamed El Mortero Mágico (The Magic Mortar). He eventually became a miner, and was one of the miners trapped underground for two months in the 2010 Copiapó mining accident. On October 13, 2010, Lobos was the 27th of 33 miners to be rescued.
Lobos made his professional debut for Chilean Second Division team Regional Atacama in 1980, scoring in his first match for the club. After leaving Regional Atacama in 1981, Lobos played a year with Deportes Antofagasta before moving to Cobresal in 1983.
In what would be the first of his two stints with Cobresal, Lobos tasted success in his first year as the team representing the small mining town of El Salvador won the 1983 Second Division title. Lobos returned to Deportes Antofagasta for 1986 and 1987. In 1988, he rejoined Cobresal where he played until 1989.
Until leaving high level football in 1995, Lobos played for a number of clubs including La Serena, Santiago Wanderers, Municipal Iquique and Unión La Calera.
He was known for his powerful free kicks.
Lobos represented Chile in the CONMEBOL Men Pre-Olympic Tournament, a qualifying tournament for the 1984 Olympic Games.
