Mauricio Macri (Spanish pronunciation: [mauˈɾisjo ˈmakɾi]; born 8 February 1959) is the current President of Argentina, in office since 2015. A former civil engineer, Macri won the first presidential runoff ballotage in Argentina's history (the runoff system had been introduced in 1994) and is the first democratically elected non-Radical or Peronist President since 1916. He was previously the Head of Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires from 2007 to 2015 and represented the city of Buenos Aires in the lower house of the Argentine congress from 2005 to 2007.

Born in Tandil in Buenos Aires Province, Macri is a graduate of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina with a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering and also studied in the Columbia Business School in New York City. Son of Francesco Macri, a prominent Italian businessman in the industrial and construction sectors, Macri was raised in an upper class home. He gained recognition when in 1995 he became President of Boca Juniors, one of the two most popular football clubs in the country. In 2005 he created the centre-right electoral front Republican Proposal (Propuesta Republicana), also known as PRO.
