Alexei Leonidovich Kudrin (Russian: Алексей Леонидович Кудрин) (born 12 October, 1960) is the Russian Minister of Finance. He has held the post since 7 May, 2000.

He attended Leningrad State University and graduated from that institution in 1983. He worked in the Saint Petersburg Mayor's Office from 1990 to 1996 under Anatoly Sobchak, where he met the future President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
