Luis Alejandro Silva Irarrázaval (born 24 March 1978) is a Chilean conservative politician who served in the Constitutional Council. Currently he is one of the six vice-presidents of Chile's Republican Party.
In 2023, Silva emerged as the politician with the most votes to draft a new constitution in his country. However, that constitutional project was rejected, being the second to be rejected in a row after the left-leaning Constitutional Convention. During the process, he has declared himself an admirer of the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship reforms.
In 2024, he returned to teaching at the university, becoming a professor at the Universidad San Sebastián (USS).
