Felipe Molloja Báez (born 23 August 1956) is a Bolivian politician and trade unionist who served as a party-list member of the Chamber of Deputies from Potosí from 2010 to 2015. Raised in rural poverty, Molloja developed his career within the Omiste Province's trade union structure, holding leadership roles in various local, provincial, and regional agrarian and peasant syndicates. In 1999, he joined the ranks of the newly founded Fearless Movement, with whom he competed for the Villazón mayoralty in 2004, taking second place and attaining a seat on the municipal council. For the 2009 general elections, as part of his party's alliance with the Movement for Socialism, Molloja was elected to represent Potosí in the Chamber of Deputies. Within months of taking office, the Fearless Movement split with the ruling party, with Molloja joining his compatriots in forming a small breakaway caucus in the lower chamber.
