Ernesto Madero Farías (12 October 1872 – 2 February 1958) was a Mexican banker who served as Secretary of Finance in the cabinet of President Francisco León de la Barra, and in that of his nephew, President Francisco I. Madero.[2][1]

He was born in Parras, Coahuila, in 1872, as the eldest of the eleven children of Evaristo Madero Elizondo, governor of Coahuila, and his second wife Manuela Farías Benavides, daughter of Juan Francisco Farías, mayor of Laredo.

He studied at the Johns Hopkins University in the United States and then mining engineering and economics at the École des Haute Etudes in Paris.[3]

Back home, he managed several of his family's companies, including mines, wineries, industries and agricultural assets. He was part of the first board of the Fundidora de Fierro y Acero de Monterrey S.A as well as director of the Banco de Nuevo León.
