Antti Ilmari Lindtman (born 11 August 1982) is a Finnish politician. He became leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in September 2023. He has been the chairman of the city council of Vantaa since 2009 and a member of the Parliament of Finland for Uusimaa since April 2011.

In September 2023, a photo of Lindtman came out, where he is posing alongside two men who are performing the Nazi salute. The photo caused scandal in both Finland and internationally.^[1][2] Lindtman confirmed the photo is genuine but denied ever being a Nazi. He explained it by saying "the guys went a bit too far with their poses".^[3]
