Juan Pablo Rojas Paúl (November 26, 1826 – July 22, 1905) was President of Venezuela from 1888 to 1890. He was the first civilian president who was elected by constitutional procedures in 50 years, and the only one who could finish his term properly, until 74 years later.

Elected by Antonio Guzmán Blanco like his successor, Rojas Paúl tried to reconcile the followers of Blanco and Joaquín Crespo, confronted at that time.

Contrary to the policy of Guzmán Blanco, Rojas Paúl authorized the creation of science faculties, churches, national schools in Maracaibo and Barquisimeto, brought French nuns to the country, helped the establishment of congregations, also built and remodeled many religious buildings. Inaugurated the submarine cable between La Guaira, the Antilles and Europe, the works of the painter Martín Tovar y Tovar at the "Salón Elíptico" (Elliptical Room) of the National Capitol. During his period, was published the book "Great geographical, historical and statistics compilation of Venezuela" of General Manuel Landaeta Rosales. His government had to face the rebellion Crespo, dominated the situation, Crespo had to go into exile.

At the government of Rojas Paúl occurred manifestations against Guzmán Blanco, in the capital and other regions of Venezuela, these events precipitated the breakdown of the government of Blanco, who sought to continue ruling indirectly from Paris.

In 1888 Rojas Paúl founded the National History Academy. His two years in the presidency were marked by an economic bonanza, of which he took advantage to invest in public works. He died in Caracas in 1905, at the age of 78.
