Belén Ysabel García Mendoza (born 15 October 1977) is a Peruvian politician. Originally from Ica, she ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the Peruvian Congress under the Popular Alliance electoral coalition; prior, she had two unsuccessful runs for the Ica Provincial Council, at the 2006 and 2010 municipal elections.
Originally elected Deputy Institutional General Secretary of the Peruvian Aprista Party in 2019, García rose through succession to the position of General Secretary in 2021 following former congressman Elías Rodríguez expelling for alleged treason from the party, as it was revealed Rodríguez had commenced the registration of his own regional movement while serving as national Institutional General Secretary.
García ran Jorge del Castillo’s running mate alongside Mauricio Mulder as part of one of the tickets competing in the party’s presidential primary for the 2026 general election, placing third in the primary and losing to Enrique Valderrama’s ticket.
