Horacio Vasquez (1860–1936) was a Dominican general and political figure. He served as the acting president of the Dominican Republic in 1899, and again between 1902 and 1903. Supporters of Vasquez were known as Horacistas, as opposed to Jimenistas, supporters of Vasquez's main rival, Juan Isidro Jimenes. Following the occupation of the Dominican Republic by U.S. military forces from 1916–1924, Vasquez was democratically elected as president of the country between 1924 and 1930, and again separately in 1930 before being ousted by General Rafael Trujillo and sent into exile.
