Cuauhtémoc Blanco Bravo (Spanish pronunciation: [kwawˈtemok ˈblaŋko]; born 17 January 1973) is a Mexican politician and former professional footballer serving as a member of the Chamber of Deputies.

He served as the Governor of Morelos from 2018 to 2024 under the coalition Juntos Haremos Historia, and as the mayor of Cuernavaca, Morelos.

As a footballer, Blanco was known for his attacking ability and played most of his career as a deep-lying forward and his last years as an attacking midfielder. Blanco is considered to be one of the greatest Mexican and North American footballers of all time.
