Matías Daniel Lammens Nuñez (born 5 April 1980) is an Argentine businessman and politician, who served as the country's Minister of Tourism and Sports from 2019 to 2023, in the cabinet of President Alberto Fernández. Since 2023, he has been a member of the Buenos Aires City Legislature.
From 2012 to 2019 he was chairman of Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro, a Buenos Aires–based sports club best known for its football team, which plays in the Primera División, the first tier of the Argentine football league system, and is considered one of the "big five" of Argentine football. With Lammens at its helm, the club won its first ever Copa Libertadores.
In 2019, Lammens was the Frente de Todos candidate for Chief of Government of Buenos Aires, competing against PRO incumbent Horacio Rodríguez Larreta. Lammens lost against Larreta in the first round, attaining a little over 35% of the vote.
