Héctor Icazuriaga (born 9 January 1955) is the former Secretary of Intelligence of Argentina who served from 2004 until 2014.

Icazuriaga was born in Chivilcoy, Buenos Aires Province to Basque Argentine parents (his Basque descent inspired his nickname, El vasco, though he is also known as Pancho and El Chango).

He enrolled at the University of La Plata, and earned a juris doctor; he later married and had two children.

He relocated to Santa Cruz Province, where he was elected to the Provincial Legislature on the Justicialist Party ticket.

Kirchner's own election to the presidency in April 2003 led to Icazuriaga's appointment as governor.
