Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo (born 1942) [cite web|title=DEA Fugitives, Los Angeles Fugitives, FONSECA-CARRILLO |url=http://www.dea.gov/fugitives/la/fonseca-carrillo.htm |publisher=United States Drug Enforcement Administration] was a former Mexican narcotics trafficker, operating as leader of the Guadalajara Cartel alongside Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo and Rafael Caro Quintero. Carrillo had been involved with smuggling since the early 1970's, primarily in Ecuador, later moving his operations to Mexico.cite book|title=World Encyclopedia of Organized Crime |pages=167 |first=Jay Robert |last=Nash |year=1993 |isbn=0-30680535-9 |publisher=De Capo Press]

The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in 1982 indicted Carrillo in a money laundering operation in San Diego. Prior to the DEA receiving permission to wiretap the phones where Carrillo was believed to be hiding, Carrillo fled back to Mexico becoming a fugitive. On April 7, 1985, Carrillo and his security were located in Puerto Vallarta by the Mexican Army, his villa was surrounded and he eventually surrendered.

Carrillo was later linked to, and admitted taking part in the 1985 murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena, who was kidnapped and tortured by the Guadalajara cartel. Carrillo did not admit to killing Camarena and stated he was outraged that the agent was beaten. Carrillo would eventually be found guilty of the murder by the Mexico judicial system, however never extradited to the United States to stand charges.

Carrillo is the uncle of former Juarez Cartel leader, Amado Carrillo Fuentes.cite book|title=The Bullet Or the Bribe: Taking Down Colombia's Cali Drug Cartel |first=Ron |last=Chepesiuk |pages=112 |publisher=Greenwood Publishing |year=2003 |isbn=0-27597712-9]
