Jorge Adán Cárdenas Estrada (born 21 April 1997) is a Mexican weightlifter. He competed in the men's 73 kg event at the 2020 Summer Olympics, where he placed 11th. Cárdenas sparked controversy during the opening ceremony as he removed his face mask to greet a television camera as he walked past it, which led to criticism on social media for allegedly violating the COVID-19 measures put in place for the Games.
In 2024, he won the bronze medal in the men's 73 kg event at the Pan American Weightlifting Championships held in Caracas, Venezuela.
