Jorge Adalberto Choquetarqui Jahuircata (born 23 April 1968) is a Bolivian community organizer and politician who served as a party-list member of the Chamber of Deputies from La Paz from 2010 to 2015.

Born and brought up in El Alto, Choquetarqui worked as a micro-business owner involved in several ventures, including textile manufacturing. He took an interest in the extensive network of community associations and organizations covering the city. He served on the neighborhood council of the 16 de Julio zone and assumed leadership positions on the school board at his primary school alma mater.

Elected president of the El Alto Parents' Federation in 2006, Choquetarqui led the organization through 2010. The sector's alignment with the government of Evo Morales cleared the path for his election to the Chamber of Deputies on the Movement for Socialism ticket in 2009. His organization's decision to put forward new representatives in 2014 meant he was not nominated for reelection.
