Luis Liberman Ginsburg (born 1947) is a Costa Rican businessperson and former Second Vice President of Costa Rica from 2010 to 2014. He was elected in February 2010 on the ticket with President Laura Chinchilla and First Vice President Alfio Piva. Liberman's family moved to Costa Rica from Poland prior to World War II. He is the grandson of the first Mohel of Costa Rica's small Jewish community.

Liberman was chosen as a Vice President to President Laura Chinchilla mainly due to his expertise in economic affairs. He also said that Costa Rica under Chinchilla would be less active in the Middle East and foreign policy would focus more on Latin America while maintaining good relations with Israel, which he described as "excellent" as well as Egypt and other Arab states.
