Arturo Colombi (b. 1958) is an Argentine Radical Civic Union (UCR) politician, current governor of Corrientes Province.

Colombi served as provincial Minister of Public Works in the administration of then-governor, his cousin Ricardo Colombi. He was elected governor of the province in 2005, when Ricardo Colombi resigned to stand for the Argentine Chamber of Deputies.

Colombi was a leading supporter of Peronist President Néstor Kirchner in Radical ranks, and led the Frente de Todos coalition between radicals and justicialists in the October 2005 elections [1] supported by Kirchner [2][3]. In 2007, he successfully led the ticket of presidential candidate Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in the senatorial and deputy elections, opposed by his cousin and former ally Ricardo Colombi.
