Darío Lionel Lecman (born 1 September 1971, in Buenos Aires) is a retired male weightlifter from Argentina. He twice competed for his native country at the Summer Olympics: 2000 and 2004.[1] Lecman won three silver medals in a row at the Pan American Games: 1995, 1999 and 2003. He is Jewish.[2]

After his retirement from professional weightlifting (precipitated by an International Weightlifting Federation ban lasting until 2008),[3] Lecman worked as a personal fitness trainer for the Argentinian tennis player Mariano Puerta.[4][5]

In 2020, following a period of stroke recovery, Lecman publicly denied Puerta's claims of his involvement in the latter's highly publicised 2005 doping scandal.[6]
