Alberto Edgardo Balestrini (9 March 1947 – 4 April 2017) was an Argentine politician of the Justicialist Party. Balestrini held a number of important posts throughout his career: he served as Vice Governor of Buenos Aires Province under Daniel Scioli from 2007 to 2010, as President of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies from 2005 to 2007, and as intendente (mayor) of La Matanza from 1999 to 2005.
In addition, Balestrini served as a member of the Buenos Aires provincial senate, and as president of the Buenos Aires Province chapter of the Justicialist Party. Balestrini's career was cut short by a debilitating stroke in April 2010, following which he retired from politics in order to recover. He died in 2017, aged 70.
