Israel Cristostomo "Izzy" Alcantara is a former Major League Baseball player for the Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers.

Alcantara is most remembered for an incident while he was playing with the Pawtucket Red Sox, Boston's AAA affiliate of the International League. On July 3, 2001, after being brushed back by Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons pitcher Blas Cedeno, Alcantara turned around, kicking catcher Jeremy Salazar, karate-style, in the mask before charging the mound, throwing a punch at Cedeno and missing before turning around and looking for other players to fight and being tackled by Kevin Orie.

The incident cost Alcantara a six-game suspension and his spot on the International League's All Star squad.
