Wilmar Andrés Paredes Zapata (born 27 April 1996) is a Colombian road and track cyclist, who currently rides for UCI Continental team Team Medellín. He was provisionally suspended from the sport for four years from February 2019 to February 2023. He competed as a junior at the 2014 UCI Road World Championships in the men's junior road race and as an under-23 rider at the 2015 UCI Road World Championships in the men's under-23 road race. He won the gold medal at the 2016 Pan American Track Cycling Championships in the team pursuit.
In April 2019, Paredes returned an adverse analytical finding (AAF) for erythropoietin (EPO) in an out-of-competition control taken in February 2019. Team Manzana Postobón folded in May, due to the doping cases of Paredes and teammate Juan José Amador.
