Ximena Cecilia Rincón González (born 5 July 1968) is a Chilean lawyer and politician. She is formerly Chile's Labor Minister and former Minister Secretary-General of the Presidency under President Michelle Bachelet.
Between 2005 and 2006 she was intendant of the Santiago Metropolitan Region.
In 2017 was elected Senator in representation of Maule Region. In 2021 was elected President of the Senate of Chile, replacing Yasna Provoste.
In the 2022 Chilean national plebiscite, Rincón supported the option to reject the drafted constitution, despite her party, the Christian Democratic Party, supporting the option to approve. This has led to a split between the party and many of its adherents, including Rincón, whose brother Ricardo, a former DC deputy, is said to be starting a new party reportedly called either the Democratic Party or the Democrats. On 27 October 2022, Rincón resigned from the Christian Democratic Party after 40 years of being a party member.
