Felipe de Jesús Calderón Hinojosa is a Mexican politician who served as President of Mexico from 1 December 2006 to 30 November 2012. He is a member of the Partido Acción Nacional, one of the three major Mexican political parties.

He served in the cabinet of the previous administration up until he resigned to run for the Presidency and secured his party's nomination. The Federal Electoral Institute's official electoral results gave Felipe Calderón the largest vote total and the presidency but the decision was contested by Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Calderón's victory was confirmed on September 5, 2006 by the Federal Electoral Tribunal.
