Manuel Hidalgo Plaza (5 April 1878 – 20 December 1967) was a Chilean trade union leader and politician. Throughout his career he was affiliated with several left-wing parties, including the Democratic Party, the Socialist Workers' Party, the Communist Party, and later the Socialist Party.

He served as senator for the northern provinces of Tarapacá and Antofagasta during the 1933–1937 legislative period and held ministerial and diplomatic posts in subsequent decades.
