Elena Valerica Lasconi (Romanian: [eˈlena lasˈkoni]; born 20 April 1972) is a Romanian politician and former journalist. She is serving as the mayor of Câmpulung in Argeș County, having been elected in both the 2020 and 2024 elections. On 26 June 2024, she won the internal elections in the Save Romania Union (USR), becoming its president. USR elected her in a landslide as the party's candidate in the 2024 presidential election.
Lasconi briefly led the list of USR candidates for the 2024 European Parliament elections, a position she resigned from at the request of the former party president, Cătălin Drulă. Lasconi placed second in the first round of the 2024 Romanian presidential election on 24 November 2024. She would have faced the independent Călin Georgescu in a runoff on 8 December 2024 had the first round not been annulled by the Constitutional Court.
