Ivonne Aracelly Ortega Pacheco (born November 26, 1972) is a Mexican politician from Yucatán and a current member of the Chamber of Deputies. She served as Yucatán's first elected female governor, making her the sixth woman to govern a Mexican state.

Starting her political career in the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), she was elected as the mayor of her birthplace, Dzemul, Yucatán, in 1998. She was elected to the Congress of Yucatán in 2001, Chamber of Deputies in 2003, the Senate in 2006, and as governor of Yucatán in 2007. After her term as governor, she served as secretary-general of the PRI from 2012 to 2015. She was elected again to the Chamber of Deputies in 2015 before running unsuccessfully for the PRI's presidency in 2019. Following her defeat, she left the party and joined Citizens' Movement in 2020, later being re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2021 and 2024.
