Eduardo Alberto Cisternas Gómez (born January 10, 2004, in Santiago, Chile) is a Chilean swimmer known for competing in freestyle events. He first gained attention when he competed in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, where he set a new Chilean national record in the 400-meter freestyle during the heats.[1] In the heats for the 400 metre freestyle, he broke his own national record that he had set at the 2021 South American Championships.[2]

In 2023, at the Pan American Games in Santiago, Cisternas became the third Chilean male swimmer to reach a final in any swimming event. He finished seventh in the 400-meter freestyle.
