Jorge Insunza Gregorio de Las Heras (born 12 February 1967) is a Chilean politician and lobbyist. He was minister during the second government of Michelle Bachelet.

After resuming his studies at Valentín Letelier High School, he left again following an attempted detention by the National Information Center (CNI) after participating in a school occupation. He subsequently traveled to Argentina, where he remained underground for six months.

In 1987 and 1988, he was a candidate for president of the Student Federation of Diego Portales University. In 1990, he resigned from the Communist Youth and in 1991 joined the Socialist Party of Chile. In 1996, he joined the Party for Democracy (PPD).
