Hery Martial Rajaonarimampianina Rakotoarimanana (Malagasy: [heˈrʲ radzawˌnariˈmampʲanː]; French: [əʁi ʁaʒaɔnaʁimãpjanina]; born 6 November 1958) is a Malagasy politician who served as the seventh President of Madagascar from 2014 to 2018, resigning to run for re-election.

Previously he served as Minister of Finance under President Andry Rajoelina, and he was the Rajoelina political movement's candidate in the 2013 presidential election. He won the vote in a second round, defeating Jean-Louis Robinson, the candidate of Marc Ravalomanana's party. Once he was elected, Rajaonarimampianina held the world record of the head of state with the longest name (44 characters) as well as family name (19 characters).
