Francisco Quiroz (June 4, 1957 – May 15, 1993) was a Dominican professional boxer and WBA world Light Flyweight champion. He was born in Moca, Dominican Republic.

Professional career

After the loss, Quiroz fought periodically in Latin America before retiring in 1990 after five consecutive losses, becoming one of the few world champions to retire with a losing record. His record was 11-15-1 with 5 wins by knockout.
