Manuel Martín Sáez is a Chilean former government official who served as Minister of Economy, Development and Reconstruction under President Augusto Pinochet from 14 February 1983 to 10 August 1983.
Career Sáez was appointed through an executive decree recorded in the official legal registry of Chile. He remained in office until August 1983, when he was succeeded by Andrés Passicot Callier.
His appointment took place during a cabinet reshuffle reported by El País on 15 February 1983, part of a wider reorganisation of the government's economic portfolios in response to the financial crisis of the period.
The New York Times described him in 1983 as one of Pinochet's "few close friends".
