Gloria de los Ángeles Hutt Hesse (born 31 January 1955) is a Chilean politician and journalist and a member of Political Evolution[6] (Evópoli/EVOP), a conservative-liberal and centre-right party.

In October 2022 Hutt was elected president of Political Evolution.[7] Within the party she is considered close to Ignacio Briones and more distant to the founding group of the party which is more classically right-wing and includes Felipe Kast and Luciano Cruz-Coke.[8]

In the 1990s, she was the vice-president of CEMA Chile, an organization linked to Lucía Hiriart, wife of dictator Augusto Pinochet.[9]
