Pedro Pablo Errázuriz Domínguez (born 29 March 1961) is a Chilean engineer, politician. He was Minister of Transport and Telecommunications in the first government of President Sebastián Piñera (2010–2014).

He was born from the marriage of Pedro Pablo Errázuriz Ossa and Berta Domínguez Covarrubias, who had five other children.[1][2] Among his uncles are the cardinal and archbishop of Santiago Francisco Javier Errázuriz (1998–2010) and the businessman Juan Eduardo Errázuriz, Sigdo Koppers group shareholder.[3][4]

Like his father and his grandfather, Errázuriz studied civil engineering at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC), where he obtained a specialization in hydraulics. There, he met with Laurence Golborne, future cabinetmate in Piñera's first government. Later, he completed master's degree in engineering sciences at the same university and Master of Science in management science/operational research/finance at London School of Economics.
