Guillermo Lorenzo Tolentino Eleazar (Tagalog pronunciation: [ʔɛljaˈzaɾ]; born November 13, 1965) is a Filipino retired police officer and general who served as Chief of the Philippine National Police from May to November 2021. He was also the Deputy Chief of Administration in PNP.

Graduating cum laude from the Philippine Military Academy, Eleazar joined the Philippine National Police in 1987. In July 2016, he became the Director of the Quezon City Police District. In May 2018, he became the chief of the National Capital Region Police Office. The next year, he was promoted to three-star general. He was also the leader of protection from COVID-19 from March to November 2020.

On May 5, 2021, Eleazar became the Chief of the Philippine National Police. Eleazar added policies related to COVID-19 and other issues. His tenure was relatively supported by government officials and multiple senators. He was succeeded on November 13, 2021, retiring shortly after.

After his tenure as chief, Eleazar ran for a position in the Senate in the 2022 Philippine general election with the Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma party, as part of the Lacson-Sotto senatorial slate. He received endorsements from a professional association of security guards and private investigators and from the Christian Iglesia ni Cristo community. He lost, gaining 16th place with 11,194,886 votes.
