Fadli Zon (born 1 June 1971) is an Indonesian politician and historian currently serving as Minister for Cultural Affairs. He was one of the founders of Prabowo Subianto's Gerindra Party (Gerindra), where he is vice chairman.

Fadli was one of the most vocal critics of President Joko Widodo during the president's first term, from 2014 to 2019, but he toned down his criticism after Gerindra joined the ruling coalition for Widodo's second term.
