Luis Alberto Quinteros Tricot (3 October 1894 – 27 November 1981) was a Chilean lawyer and politician, member of the Socialist Party of Chile.
He served as a Senator of the Republic between 1953 and 1965.
Quinteros Tricot was born in Valparaíso in 1894, the son of Fermín Quinteros Ramírez and María Zulema Tricot Vivanco. He studied at the Instituto Nacional General José Miguel Carrera and later at the University of Chile, where he graduated as a lawyer in 1916. He married Elena Yáñez Zavala, with whom he had four children.
In 1953 he entered the Senate after winning a by-election in Santiago to replace Senator María de la Cruz Toledo, who had been disqualified. His candidacy received unusual support from the Liberal Party and the Traditionalist Conservative Party, which allowed him to easily defeat the divided Ibañismo vote.[1][2]
