Enrique Tarrio (Miami, 1984) is a Cuban-American activist affiliated with the Republican Party. He has been the leader of the far-right nationalist organization Proud Boys since 2018.

He served as the director of the Florida chapter of the group Latinos for Trump. He led Proud Boys demonstrations in defense of President Donald Trump and promoted the mobilization to Washington that culminated in the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, although he did not participate as he was detained on charges of property destruction.

He was convicted for robbery (2004) and illegal sale of medical equipment (2013). Court documents identify him as an FBI informant in criminal cases between 2012 and 2014.
