Omar Niño Romero (born May 12, 1976 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico) is a professional boxer in the light flyweight (108 lb) division. His record is 24-2-2 (10 KOs).

Known as "Giant Killer", he is the current WBC world light-flyweight champion, after beating Brian Viloria in a major upset in August of 2006. In the rematch, Romero fought Viloria to a majority draw decision, which led to the Mexican retaining the title on November 18, 2006. The win is marred with controversy, as Nino allegedly tested positive for [1] methamphetamine in his post-fight urinalysis following the bout with Viloria.

Earlier in his career he defeated future star Jorge Arce by first-round TKO on June 21, 1996.
