Francisco Rodrigues de Alencar Filho, known as Chico Alencar (born 19 October 1949), is a Brazilian politician, historian, and writer, affiliated with the Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL).

Alencar was first elected as a Councillor, representing the city of Rio de Janeiro for two consecutive terms (1989-92 and 1993-97). He was also elected as a state deputy, representing the state of Rio de Janeiro at the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro for a single term (1999-2003) and as a federal deputy representing the state of Rio de Janeiro at the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil for four consecutive terms (2003-07; 2007-11; 2011-15 and 2015-19).[1]

He left the Workers' Party (PT) in 2005, along with one of his partners Plínio de Arruda Sampaio, after the expulsion of Luciana Genro, Heloísa Helena and Babá from the party.[2] He was elected by journalists, five times in a row, the best federal deputy of Brazil, receiving the Prêmio Congresso em Foco (Congress in Focus Prize) award.[3] On 17 April 2016, he voted against the opening of the impeachment process of former president Dilma Rousseff.[4]

He was again elected as a Councillor of Rio de Janeiro on 2020 Rio de municipal election with 49,422 votes,[5] staying in office at the Municipal Chamber of Rio de Janeiro for two years (2021-23) until he was reelected for a fifth term as a federal deputy on 2022 Rio de Janeiro state elections, with 115,023 votes.[6]
