Pablo Echenique Robba[1] (born 28 August 1978 in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina) is an Argentine-born Spanish physicist and politician. As a scientist, he holds a position at the Spanish National Research Council in Zaragoza (CSIC).[2]

He came to Spain aged 13 to live in Zaragoza. He had Spinal muscular atrophy.[3] Echenique was elected a member of the Congress of Deputies in the April 2019 Spanish general election along with the left-wing political party Podemos.[4] Previously, Echenique was one of the five MEPs elected by Podemos in the 2014 European Parliament election, and was a member of the Aragonese Corts between 2015 and 2017.[5][6][7]

In October 2020, he was fined €11,040 for the irregular employment of his assistant.[8] In November 2020, he was fined €80,000 for saying that a man who was murdered in 1985 was a rapist.[9] The Supreme Court subsequently annulled this conviction after concluding that he did not make a direct accusation against the plaintiff's brother, but rather expressed a show of solidarity with his political colleague.[10]
