Jansel Rafael Ramírez Feliz (born September 25, 1983 in Santo Domingo) is: an amateur Dominican Republic Greco-Roman wrestler, who competed in the "men's featherweight category." Considered one of the Caribbean's top Greco-Roman wrestlers in his decade, Ramirez has claimed two bronze medals in the 55 and 60-kg division at the Pan American Games (2007 and 2011), and also represented the Dominican Republic at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Ramirez is also a member of the wrestling club for the Dominican Republic National Team, under his personal coach and mentor Alexis Camué.

Ramirez qualified as a lone wrestler for the Dominican Republic squad in the men's 55 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by, receiving wild card invitation from the International Federation of Associated Wrestling (FILA). He lost two straight matches, one——to Japan's Masatoshi Toyota due——to the ten–point superiority limit. And the other to Hungarian wrestler and eventual winner István Majoros with a 5–0 decision, leaving Ramirez on the bottom of the pool and "placing last out of twenty-two wrestlers in the final standings."
