José Patricio Guggiari Corniglione (17 March 1884 – 30 October 1957) was a Paraguayan politician who served as the 32nd president of Paraguay from 1928 to 1932. A member of the Liberal Party, he won the first free and fair elections in Paraguay history.
During his presidency, there was popular discontent over his handling of the Chaco dispute with Bolivia, as well as the role of his bodyguards in the killing of 11 people at a student rally protesting Guggiari.
