Fermin Alexis Infante Carpio [in-FAHN-tay] (born December 4, 1961), is a former Major League Baseball infielder.

Infante was born in Barquisimeto, Lara State, Venezuela. He played for the Toronto Blue Jays (1987–89) and Atlanta Braves (1990). He batted and threw right-handed.

In the 1980s, Toronto called Infante the best defensive shortstop in the American League next to Chicago's Ozzie Guillén. Infante had exceptional range and enough arm to make a throw from the hole, but he was unable to help himself with the bat.

In a four-season career, Infante was mostly used as a late-inning defense replacement or as a pinch runner. He posted a .109 batting average with 11 runs scored in 60 games.
