Furio Radin (born 1 June 1950) is a Croatian politician who represents Italian national minority in the Croatian Parliament since 1992, and chairs Parliament's Committee on Human Rights and Rights of National Minorities since 2000. Radin was first elected to the Parliament in 1992 parliamentary election, and was reelected in 2000, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2016 elections. Although formally independent, he closely cooperates with liberal Istrian Democratic Assembly party in whose parliamentary club he sits.
Furio Radin was born on 1 June 1950 in Pula where he attended elementary and high school. He graduated physiology from the Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and later gained PhD from the same subject. During his youth, he was active in the Croatian branch of the League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia where he was responsible for the scientific activity of young people.
Radin was first elected to the Croatian Parliament at the 1992 parliamentary election as a representative for the Italian national minority, and was reelected at the next 6 elections. For the 2011 parliamentary election he didn't run the campaign because he was the sole candidate. Between 1993 and 2001, he served as councilor in the Assembly of Istria County. Since 2000, Radin presides over Parliament's Committee on Human Rights and Rights of National Minorities, having been elected to that function six times by 2017.
