Hugo Eduardo Villaverde (Ciudad de Santa Fe, Santa Fe, Argentina, 27 de enero de 1954) es un exfutbolista argentino. Jugaba cómo defensor y su último club fue Independiente. Es considerado uno de los mejores defensores del fútbol argentino. Supo formar la mejor dupla de centrales de la Argentina y de Independiente, junto a Enzo Trossero. Sus características salientes eran la capacidad de ubicación y la velocidad con la que hacía los relevos en defensa, un verdadero tiempista, definición que le cabe al que siempre llega antes. Fue un ejemplo de solvencia, actitud, mentalidad ganadora, energía y manejo de la estrategia.
