Sergio Ferrer Marrero (born January 29, 1951) is a former Major League Baseball shortstop.
Ferrer was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, and signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers at nineteen years old. After three seasons in their farm system, in which he batted .280 with nine home runs and 121 runs batted in, he was taken by the Minnesota Twins in the 1973 rule 5 draft.
Ferrer made the Twins out of Spring training 1974, and immediately made an impact on his new club. In the season opener, he went two-for-five with two runs scored. The second came in the eleventh inning, when the speedy Ferrer scored from second base on a deep sacrifice fly to centerfield by Larry Hisle. He spent the first two months of the season as the Twins' starting shortstop, batting a respectable .281 and scoring twelve runs in the lead-off spot of the Twins' batting order, however, his inconsistent fielding led Twins manager Frank Quilici to give the starting shortstop job back to incumbent Danny Thompson. He was optioned to the triple A Tacoma Twins in late May, but his glove showed no improvement, and he remained in the minors for the rest of the season.
