Antti Petteri Orpo (born in Köyliö, 3 November 1969) is a Finnish politician, the leader of the National Coalition Party and the incumbent Minister of Finance. Previously he served as the Minister for Agriculture and Forestry 2014–2015 and Minister of Interior 2015–2016.
In May 2016, Orpo announced that he would challenge the leader of the National Coalition Party and incumbent Minister of Finance Alexander Stubb in June's party conference. Orpo received 441,4 votes against Stubb's 361 and was thus elected as the new leader for the party. Orpo soon announced that he would take Stubb's seat as the Minister of Finance. He was officially appointed as the Minister of Finance on 22 June 2016.
