Sergio Tomás Massa (Latin American Spanish pronunciation: [ˈseɾxjo ˈmasa] ; born 28 April 1972) is an Argentine politician who served as Minister of Economy from 2022 to 2023.[1] From 2019 to 2022, he was the National Deputy for the centre-left coalition Frente de Todos, elected in Buenos Aires Province, and the President of the Chamber of Deputies.

Previously, Massa served as the Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers from 2008 to 2009 under Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. He also held the role of intendente (mayor) of Tigre twice and served as the Executive Director of ANSES, Argentina's decentralized state social insurance agency.

A former member of the Justicialist Party, he founded a new political party, the Renewal Front, in 2013. As the leader of the United for a New Alternative coalition, Massa ran for president in 2015, finishing third in the first round of voting with 21% of the vote. Eight years later, in 2023, he ran for president for a second time as part of the Union for the Homeland coalition in October 2023. Massa won the first round with 36% of the vote, but lost the November run-off to Javier Milei by a margin of nearly 12%.[2]
