Iván Alberto Flores García[1][2] (born 15 June 1955) is a Chilean politician currently serving as a member of the Chamber of Deputies, representing District 24 of the Los Ríos Region. He served as President of the Chamber of Deputies from March 2019 to April 2020.[3]

Flores served as intendant of the Los Ríos Region from its creation in 2007 until his resignation in 2009. Flores resigned after being heavily criticized at a national level by the opposition after he was photographed with propaganda of Eduardo Frei's presidential campaign while he was on official duties.[4][5]

Iván Flores had previously served as provincial governor of Valdivia from 1998 to 2000.
