Lucrecia María Hernández Mack (16 November 1973 – 6 September 2023) was a Guatemalan physician and politician who served a deputy of the Congress from 2020 until her death in 2023. In July 2016, President Jimmy Morales nominated Hernández Mack as the minister of Public Health and Social Assistance, becoming the first woman to serve in that position. In 2017, she resigned from her position in protest over President Morales' order to expel United Nations anti-corruption investigator Iván Velásquez Gómez. A member of Movimiento Semilla, she served in the Congress after winning in the 2019 General Election.
