Enrique Conrado Sieburger Sr. (18 November 1897 – 1965) was an Argentine sailor and Olympic medalist. He competed in the 1948 and 1952 Summer Olympics. In 1948 he sailed with the Argentine crew on Djinn and won the silver medal in the 6-metre class. His teammates included his brother Julio Sieburger and his son Enrique Sieburger (born 1924). Julio’s son Roberto Sieburger also competed in 1948 in the Three Person Keelboat event, the first of his five Olympic appearances.
His family continued to sail in later Games. His sons Carlos Sieburger (1921–1996) and Enrique Sieburger Jr. (1924–1990) sailed with his nephew Roberto in the 5.5-metre class at the 1960 Olympics, finishing fourth. His daughter Marylin married Jorge del Río Salas, a four-time Olympic sailor who is cousin to five-time Olympic sailor Jorge Salas Chávez. Altogether, the Sieburger-Salas family has twenty Olympic appearances, a record for any family in any sport.
