Los Arlequíns (Spanish for "The Harlequins") was a Mexican professional wrestling group, called a stable, who worked as a rudo (term used for wrestlers who portray the "Bad guys") faction. All members of the group started out as masked wrestlers, but several members lost their masks before the group was disbanded.

Los Arlequíns was a wrestling "concept" team, similar to the concept of a boy band, where several wrestlers are joined up and given a common ring identity; in this case all members of the group were based on the Harlequin character. The "concept" teams are widely used in Mexico, especially in International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) which often creates various concept teams to see if they become popular with the fans. Most concept groups only last a short time, but at times a concept is so successful that it works for a number of years. In 2008 IWRG officials decided to repackage IWRG wrestlers Manuel Mejia (formerly known as Capitan Sangre), Martin Hernandez Barron (previously known as Cyborg and other ring names) and Victor Manuel Montés, (formerly known as Omega among other names) and give them new rudo, or "bad guy", masked characters. Mejia was the first of the Arlequíns to make his debut, initially working simply as Arlequín, often teaming with Hijo de Pierroth and Pierroth II, two wrestlers who also had a yellow and black "Harlequin" design in their wrestling gear. The trio unsuccessfully challenged Los Oficiales (Oficial 911. Oficial AK-47 and Oficial Fierro) for the IWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship. Arlequín and Hijo del Pierroth also unsuccessfully challenged Los Junior Dinamitas (Hijo de Cien Caras and Máscara Año 2000, Jr.) for their IWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship, but once again came up short.
