Eduardo Matarazzo Suplicy (born June 21, 1941) is a Brazilian left-wing politician, economist and professor. He is one of the founders and main political figures on the Workers Party of Brazil (PT).

Son of coffee grower Paulo Cochrane Suplicy and Filomena Matarazzo, he is an heir of the well-known coffee company Suplicy Cafés, besides belonging to the traditional Italian Brazilian family. His mother is a granddaughter of Francesco Matarazzo, known for having created the largest industrial complex in Latin America in the early 20th century.

Suplicy has a degree in business management from the Fundação Getúlio Vargas' School of Business Administration, where he is currently a professor, and a degree in economics from Michigan State University.

On 1964, Suplicy married Marta Teresa Smith de Vasconcelos, better known as Marta Suplicy, and had three sons with her: João, André, and Eduardo. They were one of the most famous couples of Brazilian politics until their divorce in 2001. Currently, Eduardo has a new partner, journalist Monica Dallari.

In 1966, he became professor of the Economics Department of the School of Business Administration of the Fundação Getúlio Vargas in São Paulo, where he still works until today. In 1968, he obtained his master's degree at the Michigan State University. In 1973, Suplicy concluded his PhD at Michigan State University with the thesis "The Effects of Mini devaluation in the Brazilian Economy", published in 1975 by the Fundação Getúlio Vargas. He later did a post-doctorate at Stanford University.

Eduardo Suplicy is the author of "The Effect of Mini devaluations in the Brazilian Economy" (Published by Fundação Getúlio Vargas - 1975); "International and Brazilian Economic Policies" (Published by Vozes ed. - 1977); "Commitment" (Published by Editora Brasiliense - 1978); "Investigating the Coroa-Brastel Case" (edited by the House of Representatives - 1985); "From the Distribution of Income to the Rights of Citizenship" (published by Editora Brasiliense - 1988) and "The Program of Guaranteed Minimum Income" (edited by the Federal Senate - 1992).
