Alberto José Rodriguez Saá is an Argentine lawyer and politician. He was elected governor of San Luis Province in 2003, serving until 2011. He was twice a presidential candidate for center-right, Federal Peronist tickets: FREJULI, in 2007, and Federal Commitment, in 2011.

The Rodriguez Saá family is well known in the Province of San Luis and can be traced to the nineteenth century and to descendants of the Federalist revolutionary Juan Saá, an important figure in the Argentine Civil Wars of the mid nineteenth century. His brother, Adolfo Rodríguez Saá, was governor of San Luis from 1983 until 2001, when he became interim President of Argentina, resigning after a week.
