Garibaldi Alves Filho (born Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, 4 February 1947) is a Brazilian politician who currently serves as the President of the Federal Senate.

He previously served as a deputy to the Rio Grande do Norte Legislative Assembly for four legislative sessions (1971–1985), mayor of Natal (1986–1989), and governor of Rio Grande do Norte for two successive periods (1995-2002).
