Gonzalo Quesada (born 2 May 1974) is a retired Argentine rugby player and coach.

He was born May 2, 1974 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He won 39 caps playing at Fly-half for the Argentine rugby union side between 1996 and 2003. He made his test debut at the age of 22 against the United States the 14 September 1996. He won his final cap the 26 October 2003 during the 2003 Rugby World Cup against Ireland. Argentina lost the match but Quesada scored 12 of Argentinas 15 points. He was the top points scorer at the 1999 Rugby World Cup in Wales, scoring 102 points. The English media nicknamed him Speedy Gonzalo due to the extraordinary length of time he took preparing to take kicks at goal.

Before the 1999 Rugby World Cup he played for Hindú Club in Argentina alongside the Fernández Miranda brothers Nicolas and Juan. After kicking 102 points at the 1999 Rugby World Cup (and finishing top point scorer of the entire tournament) he was invited to play for Racing Club de Narbonne Méditerannée in France. He left Narbonne in 2002 to sign for another French club, AS Béziers Hérault he then played for Stade Français with compatriots Pichot, Corleto and Hernández.
