Lega Nord Umbria is a regionalist political party in Italy which also functions as the Umbrian national section of Lega Nord. Since 2018 the party has been led by Virginio Caparvi as secretary, while Valerio Mancini serves as the party's president.
One of its members, Donatella Tesei, has served as President of Umbria since November 2019.

Recent history

In the 2010 Umbrian regional election the party obtained 4.3% and entered the Regional Council for the first time with a regional councillor, while in 2015 it obtained 14.0% and, despite a reduction of the Council's numbers, two councillors.
In the 2018 general election the party won 20.2% of the vote regionally and in the subsequent municipal election Leonardo Latini, a leghista, was elected mayor of Terni, the region's second largest city.
In the 2019 European Parliament election the party increased its share to 38.2%.
In the 2019 regional election the party fielded Donatella Tesei as candidate for president. She was handily elected with 57.6% of the vote and a 20% lead over its main opponent, Vincenzo Bianconi, who was the candidate of a joint list of the centre-left coalition and the Five Star Movement. The LNT and the "Tesei President" list won a combined 40.9% of the vote. The election ended 49 years of governments led by the Italian Communist Party and its successors.
