Guillermo Lorenzo Tolentino Eleazar (Tagalog pronunciation: [ʔɛljaˈzaɾ], born November 13, 1965) is a Filipino retired police officer who served as Chief of the Philippine National Police from May to November 2021. He was also the Deputy Chief of Administration in PNP.

Graduating from the Philippine Military Academy with Cum laude, Eleazar joined the Philippine National Police in 1987. In 2018, he became the Director of the Quezon City Police District. The next year, he was promoted to Three-star general. He was also the Commander of COVID-19 protection from March to November 2020. On May 5, 2021, DILG Secretary Eduardo Año announced his tenure as the next Chief of the Philippine National Police. He eventually was succeeded on November 13, 2021, and retired shortly after.

After his tenure as Chief, Eleazar decided to run for senator in the 2022 Philippine general election in the Lacson-Sotto senatorial slate with the party Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma. He gained support from 600,000 policemen and the Iglesia ni Cristo community. He lost, gaining 16th place with 11,194,886 votes, accounting for 20.28% of the votes.
