Alcides Dambrós (born 12 May 1916 – date of death unknown) was a Brazilian athlete who specialised in the shot put. He won several medals for his country in the 1950s.[1]

Relatively unsuccessful early in his career, he improved greatly around 1952 after changing his profession to a less physically straining one and modifying his technique.[2] His personal best of 16.28 metres set in São Pualo in 1953 was a South American record at that time.[3]
