Gaston Eduardo Molina (23 July 1980 – 26 February 2010) was an Argentine football striker who last played for V-League club Bình Dương

Nicknamed El Loquillo,[2] Molina was a hard working player both in Argentina and Vietnam and was admired by the fans. In Vietnam, he was a key player of SHB Da Nang as the club won the 2009 title. He was sent away by the club for ill-discipline[3] and Molina subsequently joined Bình Dương in September 2009 and was a key player, helping his team reach the semi-final of the 2009 AFC Cup.

Molina was found dead in a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City on 26 February 2010. The cause was initially believed to be drug overdose.[4]
