Sebastián Pinto (born 5 February 1986) is a Chilean footballer. He is the son of the journalist and television presenter Carlos Pinto.

In 2011, he came to O'Higgins where he was the second top-scorer of the tournament. In January 2012 he arrived at Turkish football club Bursaspor, being the top-scorer of the national cup with 5 goals. After almost three years at the club, he left finishing with a total of 65 games played and 29 goals. After that he went to Millonarios F.C. in 2014, playing 4 matches and scoring 1 goal.
