Humberto Andrés Suazo Pontivo (Spanish pronunciation: [umˈbeɾto ˈswaso]; born 10 May 1981), nicknamed Chupete (in English, Lollipop), is a Chilean professional footballer who plays as a striker for Primera B de Chile club San Luis de Quillota.
Known for his prolific scoring ability, Suazo enjoyed success with a range of clubs, particularly at Colo-Colo in Chile and Monterrey in Mexico. In his brief time with Colo-Colo, he won three consecutive league titles and was named the IFFHS World's Top Goal Scorer of 2006. At Monterrey, Suazo established himself as one of the league's premier strikers, ultimately becoming the club's all-time leading scorer, a record since then surpassed. During his time with Monterrey, he won two league titles and three CONCACAF Champions League trophies.
According to his 2010 FIFA World Cup profile, Suazo was known for his "keen positional sense and ability to finish with either foot".
