Randy Alan Flores (born July 31, 1975 in Bellflower, California) is a Major League Baseball relief pitcher in the Colorado Rockies organization. Flores played college baseball at the University of Southern California, and is a career left-handed relief specialist, he has played for the Texas Rangers and Colorado Rockies before signing as a free agent with the Cardinals on November 20, 2003. He made his major league debut on April 23, 2002. His brother Ron is also a Major League Baseball pitcher.

He attended El Rancho High School in Pico Rivera, California. At the University of Southern California from '94 to '97, he set several pitching records that still stand as of October 2006. He also earned a BS in Finance from USC.

Flores won a championship ring when the Cardinals won the 2006 World Series, defeating the Detroit Tigers four games to one. Flores appeared in seven games in the 2006 postseason, throwing 5 2/3 innings without giving up an earned run.

Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully said during the May 16, 2007, game between the Cardinals and the Dodgers that Flores' July 31 birthdate (which puts him one day before the cutoff date for youth baseball leagues) guaranteed that he was always the youngest player at each level. Scully quotes him as saying that it was so disheartening that he actually quit baseball for a couple years around age 11.

On February 10, 2009, Flores signed a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Colorado Rockies.^[1]. Flores and his wife, Lindsey, reside in Scottsdale, Arizona^[2].
