Pedro Aguirre Cerda (1879 to 1941) was a Chilean educator, lawyer and politician who served as the twenty-third president of Chile from 1938 until his death in office in 1941.

Earlier he had been a deputy for several districts, Minister of the Interior in 1918 under Juan Luis Sanfuentes, Minister of Justice and Public Instruction from 1920 to 1921 under Arturo Alessandri, and a senator for Concepcion from 1921 to 1927. He is described as a moderate of the centre left. He died of tuberculosis at the age of sixty two, after about two years and eleven months as president.
