Julio César Ramírez (born 30 April 1974) is a Uruguayan former footballer who played the majority of his career in Uruguay for Montevideo Wanderers, Miramar Misiones and Progreso. He also had a short stint in Chile for Audax Italiano.

Ramírez joined Montevideo Wanderers in 1988 at the age of 13.[1]

Despite playing as a defender for the Wanderers, Ramírez became known as the "Prado Sniper" (Spanish: El francotirador del Prado) for his goalscoring - he often took penalties and free kicks for the team.[2]

Ramírez left Montevideo Wanderers to join Audax Italiano ahead of the 2005 Chilean Torneo Apertura.[3][4]

In mid-2005, Ramírez returned to Uruguay to join Miramar Misiones.[5]

After joining Progreso in 2006, he was part of the team that won the 2006 Uruguayan Segunda División.[6]
