Martin Trevor Heinrich (/ˈhaɪnrɪk/ HYNE-rik; born October 17, 1971) is an American businessman and politician serving as the senior United States senator from New Mexico, a seat he has held since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Heinrich served as the U.S. representative from New Mexico's 1st congressional district from 2009 to 2013. He and fellow Senator Ben Ray Luján are the co-deans of New Mexico's congressional delegation.

Born in Fallon, Nevada, Heinrich lived much of his adulthood in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and maintains a residence there along with his work residence in Silver Spring, Maryland.^[1][2] From 2004 to 2008, he served on the Albuquerque City Council, representing the 6th district. Heinrich was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2008 and reelected in 2010.

In lieu of running for a third term in the House, Heinrich ran for the Senate seat vacated by retiring Senator Jeff Bingaman in the 2012 election and defeated Republican Heather Wilson, 51%–45%. He was reelected in 2018 and 2024. Since the beginning of the 118th Congress, Heinrich has chaired the Joint Economic Committee, having previously served as vice chair. In January 2021, Heinrich became New Mexico's senior senator when Tom Udall retired from the Senate.
