Ricardo Norberto Calvo Manzano (born (1996-10-02)2 October 1996), commonly referred to as Ricardo Calvo, is a Cuban male volleyball player. Calvo was part of the Cuba men's national volleyball team at the 2014 FIVB World Championship in Poland. On club level, he played for Villa Clara.

Calvo did not play in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro because he was one of six players of the Cuban national volleyball team that were suspected of committing aggravated rape in July 2016 in Tampere, Finland. In September 2016, he was sentenced to five years in prison. In June 2017, his sentence was reduced to 3 1/2 years.
