María Antonia Trujillo Rincón (born 18 December 1960)[1] is a Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) politician.

Trujillo was born in Peraleda del Zaucejo, Badajoz.

[3] After being counsellor in Juan Carlos Rodríguez Ibarra's cabinet (Junta de Extremadura) from 1999 to 2004,[4] Trujillo was the Minister of Housing during the first part of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's legislature (2004–2007).

[5][6] In 2019, Trujillo moved to Morocco to head the Spanish Ministry of Education in Rabat.

[7] In September 2022, she was declared “persona non grata” by authorities of the Spanish enclaves of Melilla[8] and Ceuta,[9] barring her from entering the cities, after she supported Morocco's historical claims to the two enclaves, stating that Ceuta and Melilla are "vestiges of the past that interfere in the economic and political independence of this country and in the good relations between the two countries".
