Alexis Rafael Navarro Rojas (October 2, 1946 – May 22, 2016) was a Venezuelan politician, physician, and diplomat. Navarro served as the Governor of the Venezuelan state of Nueva Esparta from 2000 until 2004 as a member of the MVR political party. He also served as the Ambassador of Venezuela to the Russian Federation from 2005 until 2008 under Hugo Chávez. Navarro was born on October 2, 1946, in El Pilar, a section of Maneiro Municipality on Margarita Island, Nueva Esparta. He married Gabriela Montilla Ríos and had four children. In 1970, Navarro graduated from the University of Zaragoza in Spain with a bachelor of medicine. He then studied to become a surgeon, specializing in trauma, at the Central University of Venezuela. He also received a master's degree in psychiatry from the University of Salamanca in Spain. Navarro later chaired the School of Medicine at the Central University of Venezuela (UCV). Navarro was a former member of the National Assembly, where he represented Nueva Esparta. A leftist politician and close ally of Hugo Chavez, Navarro was elected Governor of his home state of Nueva Esparta in 2000.
