Calvin Tsiebo (12 July 1902 – 2008[1][2]) was a Malagasy politician during the era on Malagasy Republic and former Vice President of Madagascar.

Tsiebo was born on 12 July 1902 in Andoharano.[3] He became a civil servant during the French colonial administration. He was elected to the provincial assembly of Toliara in 1949. Tsiebo became one of the founders of Social Democratic Party of Madagascar in 1956.[2]
