Elías Nicolás Rodríguez Zavaleta (born 22 July 1974) is a Peruvian lawyer and politician who served in Congress representing La Libertad region from 2006 until the dissolution of Congress by president Martín Vizcarra in 2019.

A former member of the Peruvian Aprista Party, Rodríguez was expelled from the party in October 2021 for alleged treason as he served as Institutional General Secretary and simultaneously led an independent regional movement.

At the 2022 regional elections, Rodríguez ran for governor of La Libertad Region under the Trabajo Más Trabajo regional movement, placing second and losing to César Acuña from Alliance for Progress.
