Fermín Espinosa was a Cuban bantamweight boxer who competed at two Olympic Games. Espinosa competed at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Espinosa won his first two fights to reach the quarter-finals, but he did not start his bout with the eventual silver medallist Jeong Sin-Jo of South Korea. Four years later at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, Espinosa won his opening bout, but lost in the second round after the referee stopped the contest against Nikola Savov of Bulgaria.
Outside of the Olympics, Espinosa won the gold medal at the 1966 Central American and Caribbean Games, and the silver medal at the 1967 Summer Pan American Games.
