Lorenzo Montúfar y Rivera (March 11, 1823 - March 21, 1898) was a Guatemalan politician and lawyer. He was the son of Rafael Montúfar y Coronado and Maria del Rosario Rivera. He was married in San José, Costa Rica on January 26, 1851, to Maria de Jesus Madriz Enriquez, the daughter of Juan de los Santos Madriz y Cervantes and Paulina Enríquez Díaz Cabeza de Baca.
He graduated as a lawyer from the University of San Carlos in Guatemala.
In Costa Rica he was Magistrate, Minister of Exterior Relations from 1856 to 1857 and from 1870 to 1873, and vice-chancellor of the University of Saint Thomas. He also held the position of Minister of Costa Rica in Great Britain. Later, he was Minister of Exterior Relations of Guatemala, and a candidate for the presidency.
In politics he was characterized by his liberal ideology and his extreme anti-clericalism. He had an almost pathological aversion to the Jesuits, against whom he wrote various booklets.
He wrote a Historical Summary of Central America, some Autobiographical Reports and other works.[1]
He died in Guatemala on May 21, 1898.
