Furio Radin (born 1 June 1950) is a Croatian politician who is currently serving as a Member of the Croatian Parliament for the Italian national minority, an office he has held since 7 September 1992. He has also been the Chair of the Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights and Rights of National Minorities since 2000, and one of the Deputy Speakers of the Parliament since 9 June 2017. Radin is the longest-serving Member of Parliament in Croatian history, with a service lasting 33 years, 220 days, as of 15 April 2026.

Radin was first elected to the parliament in the 1992 election and was re-elected to nine more terms, in the 1995, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2020 and 2024 elections respectively.
