Aurelio Iragorri Valencia (born 15 July 1966) is the 12th Minister of the Interior of Colombia, serving in the administration of President Juan Manuel Santos Calderón. Iragorri, who had served as Deputy Minister of the Interior from 2010 to 2012, also served as Santos' Chief of Staff, and as High Presidential Advisor for Political Affairs.
Iragorri, a Pontifical Xavierian University educated lawyer, was appointed Deputy Minister of the Interior on 23 August 2010 serving under Minister Federico Renjifo Vélez in the administration of President Juan Manuel Santos Calderón. As Deputy Minister of the Interior, Iragorri was appointed acting Governor of Magdalena following the impeachment of Magdalena's elected governor, Omar Ricardo Díaz-Granados Velásquez, by the Office of the Comptroller General. Iragorri served only a few days, from 13 December to 29 December 2010, but shortly after, Iragorri was appointed acting Governor of Casanare following the impeachment of that department's elected governor, Oscar Raúl Iván Flórez Chávez, by the Office of the Inspector General. This time he served from 14 February to 11 April 2011.
On 11 August 2011, following a restructuring of the Ministry which divided the Ministry of the Interior and Justice into the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice and Law, Iragorri's post changed nomenclature and went from being Deputy Minister of the Interior to Deputy Minister of Political Affairs, within the Ministry of the Interior.
