Carlos Alberto Poblete is a former Chilean Football player. He is currently the head coach of Puebla F.C. in Mexico's Liga MX.

He began his career with the Chilean club Universidad de Chile in 1980 where he played until 1986 when he transferred to the Mexican club Puebla FC.

In 1989-90 he increased his goal scoring further, scoring 22, including 2 in the 1989 final against Leones Negros.

After the 1992 tournament, with the club in hiatus after losing the 1992 final, he was transferred to Cruz Azul where he managed to score 14 goals. In the 1993 tournament he was sent to Veracruz where he spend 2 years scoring 15 goals in 64 games. In 1995 he returned to Puebla FC where he scored his last 7 with the club. He finished with 83, placing himself third all time in the club's records. At the end of the tournament he left for his native Chile where he played with Club Deportivo O'Higgins for the 1996 tournament. In 1997 he again returned to Mexico to play with Unión de Curtidores where he retired.
