Anthony 'Tony' Sertich is a Democratic Farmer Labor Party member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, representing District 5B since 2000. He is currently the Majority Leader. His district is the Iron Range.

Sertich was first elected to the Minnesota House in 2000 at the age of 24, making him the youngest member of the Legislature. His district includes much of the Iron Range including the towns of Hibbing and Chisholm. It is reliably democratic and has reelected him without difficulty.

Sertich is a graduate of Hamline University in St. Paul, where he received a degree in Theatre and Political Science. After graduation, he worked for Minnesota Senator Jerry Janezich, who also represented the Iron Range. When Janezich ran for the United States Senate in 2000, then Representative David Tomassoni ran for the Minnesota Senate, opening up the seat in which Sertich now serves.

Sertich is known for his charisma and his quick wit and he has quickly moved up the leadership ranks in the Minnesota House. In late 2006, he was elected Majority Leader.

For the 2007–2008 session, Sertich serves on the Finance, Ways and Means, and Rules Committees. As Majority Leader, he is chair of the Rules Committee.
