Ernesto Javier Cordero Arroyo (born 9 May 1968) is a Mexican actuary, public servant, and politician affiliated with the National Action Party (PAN).

He served twice as a cabinet member during the Calderón administration: first as secretary of social development and then as secretary of finance and public credit until he resigned to participate in the PAN's 2012 internal elections for the presidency of Mexico, which he lost. Cordero also served as president of the Mexican Senate. This role is traditionally rotated among the three largest parties in Congress for one-year terms, from September 2012 to August 2013 and again from September 2017 to August 2018.
