Guillermo Lorenzo Tolentino Eleazar (Tagalog pronunciation: [ʔɛljaˈzaɾ]; born November 13, 1965) is a Filipino retired police officer who served as Chief of the Philippine National Police from May to November 2021. He was also the Deputy Chief of Administration in PNP.

Graduating from the Philippine Military Academy with Cum laude, Eleazar joined the Philippine National Police in 1987. In July 2016, he became the Director of the Quezon City Police District. In May 2018, he became the Chief of the National Capital Region Police Office. The next year, he was promoted to Three-star general. He was also the Commander of COVID-19 protection from March to November 2020.

On May 5, 2021, DILG Secretary Eduardo Año announced his tenure as the next Chief of the Philippine National Police. Eleazar added policies related to COVID-19 and other issues. His tenure was relatively supported by government officials and multiple senators. He was succeeded on November 13, 2021, retiring shortly after.

After his tenure as Chief, Eleazar decided to run for senator in the 2022 Philippine general election after Teodoro Locsin Jr. persuaded him to run. He ran as part of the Lacson-Sotto senatorial slate with the party Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma. He gained support from 600,000 policemen and the Iglesia ni Cristo community. He lost, gaining 16th place with 11,194,886 votes, accounting for 20.28% of the votes.
