El señor Presidente is a novel by Guatemalan writer Miguel Ángel Asturias, published in 1946.

Through a series of characters and situations, Asturias criticizes the abuse of power, corruption, and oppression that characterize dictatorial regimes. The novel is considered one of the most important works of Latin American literature and a classic of the political novel.
