Osvaldo José Virgil, Jr. (born December 7, 1956 in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico) is a former Major League Baseball catcher who played with the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, and Toronto Blue Jays from 1980 to 1990. He was elected to the National League All-Star team twice in 1985 and 1987. In 1987, Virgil hit a career high 27 home runs with the Braves.

Years after his playing career was over, he became a manager. He was named manager of the new Surprise Fightin' Falcons (Arizona) of the independent Golden Baseball League in 2005.

Ozzie's father, Ozzie Virgil, Sr., was a Major League utility player from 1956 to 1969.

Ozzie Jr. attended Moon Valley High School in Phoenix, Arizona. He set many state records and even forced a taller fence to be erected on the Moon Valley field due to his tendency to use nearby houses as target practice.
