Ximena Cecilia Rincón González (born 5 July 1968) is a Chilean lawyer and politician. She is formerly Chile's Labor Minister and former Minister Secretary-General of the Presidency under President Michelle Bachelet.[2]

Between 2005 and 2006 she was intendant of the Santiago Metropolitan Region.[3]

In 2017 was elected Senator in representation of Maule Region. In 2021 was elected President of the Senate of Chile, replacing Yasna Provoste.[4]

In the 2022 Chilean national plebiscite, Rincón supported the option to reject the drafted constitution, despite her party, the Christian Democratic Party, supporting the option to approve.[5] This has led to a split between the party and many of its adherents, including Rincón, whose brother Ricardo, a former DC deputy, is said to be starting a new party reportedly called either the Democratic Party or the Democrats.[6] On 27 October 2022, Rincón resigned from the Christian Democratic Party after 40 years of being a party member.[7]
