Manuel René Concha Martínez (born 1939 in Santiago) is a Chilean military engineer and political figure who held several senior economic positions during the military regime of General Augusto Pinochet.[1]

He served as Undersecretary of Economy, Development and Reconstruction (1983–1984),[1] Undersecretary of Finance (1984–1987), Minister of Economy, Development and Reconstruction (1987–1989),[1] and President of the Central Bank of Chile (April–December 1989).[1] Throughout the regime he maintained a close connection with the civilian economic team that shaped the government’s financial and development policies.[1]

Concha has often been described as aligned with the Independent Democratic Union (UDI)–inspired gremialist economic thought, despite not being formally partisan.[2]

He is the son of Manuel Concha Mora and Claudina Martínez Roy.[1] Since 1962 he has been married to Marta Rojas Alzamora.[1]
