Jorge Antonio Martínez Durán (born 19 November 1962) is a Chilean lawyer and politician who served as intendant of the Valparaíso Region.
Martínez has been a professor of Roman law at various Chilean universities, such as the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso or the Universidad de Los Andes. Similarly, in 2013, he was a high-rank consultant in the Minister of Education.
In November 2019, his work as Intendant was heavily criticized by the progressivist media and politicians during the 2019 Chilean protests –Estallido Social (or «Social Outbreak»)–. Similarly, the leftist parliamentary, Diego Ibáñez (from Social Convergence), tried to organize an impeachment against him.
