Matías Vicente Walker Prieto (born 19 July 1973) is a Chilean politician who currently serves as a parliamentary.
On 27 October 2022, Walker resigned from the Christian Democratic Party after being a member for nearly 30 years. This stemmed from Walker's decision to support the Reject option in the 2022 Chilean national plebiscite, contrary to his party which decided to support the Approve option.
He has served as a municipal councillor and as a member of the Senate of Chile. He was previously affiliated with the Christian Democratic Party of Chile (PDC) and later became a founding member and vice president of the Democrats party.
