Carlos Eduardo Subirana Gianella (born 18 August 1986) is a Bolivian lawyer and politician who served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies from Santa Cruz, representing circumscription 50 from 2010 to 2015.
Subirana was born into the wealthy, established Subirana family of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. He is a son of Carlos Subirana Suárez, a prominent bank executive and politician. He attended the elite bilingual Eagles' School before graduating as a lawyer from the Private University of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. While still in law school in 2009, Subirana was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, representing an urban constituency in his home department.
Taking office at age 23, Subirana is one of the youngest persons ever elected to parliament – a development brought about by the reduction of constitutional age limits in place until the 2009 election. Although elected as a member of the opposition, Subirana defected to the governing party in 2014, following the course of his father and other Santa Cruz elites, who saw closer ties to the government as more economically favorable than continued animosity.
After leaving office, Subirana joined his father's law firm, Subirana & Associates, where he previously worked as a paralegal. He served as general manager of the family-owned newspaper La Estrella del Oriente from 2015 to 2017 and sits on the publication's editorial board.
