Luis Gabelo Conejo Jiménez (born 1 January 1960) is a Costa Rican retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
He played mainly for Ramonense and Albacete, during a 17-year professional career. In 2009, the International Federation of Football History & Statistics named him the 34th best goalkeeper of the world for the period 1987–2008, and the seventh in Latin America.
Conejo appeared for Costa Rica at the 1990 World Cup.
Born in San Ramón, Alajuela Province, Conejo made his professional debut for Asociación Deportiva Ramonense, playing his first game in the Primera División on 27 November 1981 against C.S. Herediano and managing to score five league goals during his eight-year spell. He left in 1989 to sign for C.S. Cartaginés, and subsequently joined Spanish club Albacete Balompié, quickly becoming an idol as the Castile-La Mancha side reached La Liga for the first time ever in 1991; he made his debut in the competition on 1 September 1991 in a 0–2 away loss against CA Osasuna, and finished the season with 33 appearances for a final seventh place.
