Gabino Sosa (4 October 1899 – 3 March 1971) was an Argentine football forward who spent all his career for Central Córdoba de Rosario, playing 24 years for the club. He also played in the Argentina national team.

His dribbling technique made Sosa to be one of the most prominent players not only in Rosario but in Argentina. Sosa was highly regarded as the best Central Córdoba player of those times, apart from being considered the first great player from the city of Rosario.

The Central Córdoba venue was named in his honour in 1969, two years before his death.
