Elpidio "Pidi" Frani Barzaga Jr. (March 25, 1950 – April 27, 2024) was a Filipino lawyer and politician. He was the representative of Cavite's 4th district in the House of Representatives of the Philippines from 2010 to 2016 and from 2019 until his death in 2024. This district exclusively covers the city of Dasmariñas and was carved out from the 2nd district, which he represented from 2007 to 2010. In addition to his legislative roles, he served as the mayor of Dasmariñas (1998–2007, 2016–2019).
Barzaga was born on March 25, 1950, in Dasmariñas, Cavite to Elpidio Barzaga Sr. and Magdalena Gelle Frani. He graduated valedictorian from the Dasmariñas Elementary School in 1962 and from the Immaculate Conception Academy in 1966, achieving top honors in both his elementary and secondary education. He graduated Bachelor of Science in Commerce Major in Accounting degree cum laude from the San Beda College in 1970. He completed his Bachelor of Laws degree from the Far Eastern University magna cum laude in 1975.
After college, he taught law at the Far Eastern University Institute of Law from 1976 to 1992. He was also a Bar Reviewer in Civil Law from 1983 to 1992.
Barzaga had his first attempt in politics in 1980 when he ran for municipal mayor of Dasmariñas and lost. In 1986, following the EDSA Revolution, he was appointed as officer-in-charge mayor of Dasmariñas.
He ran for representative of the Second District of Cavite in 1987, for provincial vice governor in 1988, and for municipal mayor, again, in 1992. However, he failed in all of these.
Barzaga was eventually elected municipal mayor in 1998 and served for nine years. He was succeeded by his wife Jennifer in 2007.
In 2016, the couple, both had served for three terms with Barzaga on his last term as district representative, switched political posts, both running under the National Unity Party. He replaced his wife, that time as city mayor. He served until they replaced each other again in 2019.
In 2007, Barzaga, under Kampi which was then part of the ruling coalition (to be known later as Lakas–Kampi–CMD), was elected representative of the Second District of Cavite, defeating incumbent Gilbert Remulla.
