Nello Altomare (born) is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba in the 2019 Manitoba general election.[1] He represents the electoral district of Transcona as a member of the New Democratic Party of Manitoba.

Prior to his election to the legislature, Altomare was a teacher and school administrator in the Transcona-Springfield and later River East Transcona School Divisions, based in northeast Winnipeg. Both his parents were born in Italy; he was born in Transcona before the amalgamation of Winnipeg took effect in 1972.[2] [3]

In the 42nd Manitoba Legislature, Altomare served as the NDP's critic for education and early childhood learning. He was appointed to serve as minister for the same portfolio after the NDP replaced the Progressive Conservative government with one of its own in the 2023 Manitoba general election.[3]
