Anatolijs Gorbunovs (b. February 10, 1942 in Pilda parish, Ludza District, Latvia) is a prominent Latvian politician.

From 1974 to 1988, he held various positions in the Communist Party of the Latvian SSR, with his highest position being the secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Latvian SSR. Unlike most of Communist Party in Latvia, Gorbunovs supported the Latvian independence movement. From 1988 to 1995, he was speaker of the Latvian parliament (first, of the Supreme Soviet of Latvian SSR, then Supreme Soviet of Republic of Latvia, then, of the Saeima, the parliament of the newly independent Latvia). During this period, Latvian independence was restored in 1991. As speaker of the parliament, Gorbunovs was acting president of the republic per the 1922 Constitution until 1993, when Guntis Ulmanis was elected president.

Gorbunovs joined the Latvian Way party in 1993 and remained Speaker of the Saeima until 1995 and a member of parliament until 2002. Between 1995 and 2002, he served as Minister of Regional Development, Minister of Transportation and Deputy Prime Minister.
