Carlos Aníbal Larraín Peña (Santiago, 18 November 1942) is a Chilean lawyer and politician, member of National Renewal (RN).
Known for his conservative profile, Larraín served for eight years as president of RN, from 2006 to 2014. His political career has also been marked by controversial or ironic statements that have led to him being parodied.
From 2011 to 2014, he served as a senator of the Republic (appointed as Andrés Allamand’s substitute) for the then Constituency No. 16 of the Los Ríos Region. He had previously been a councillor for the commune of Las Condes (terms 1996−1999 and 2000−2011), and mayor between 1999 and 2000, replacing Joaquín Lavín.
He currently hosts the radio program "Polos Opuestos" together with former minister Francisco Vidal, on Radio El Conquistador.
