Jacinto Bienvenido Peynado Peynado (15 February 1878 – 7 March 1940) was a Dominican politician who served as the 37th president of the Dominican Republic from 1938 until his resignation in 1940. He previously served as the 22nd vice president under President Rafael Trujillo from 1934 to 1938. As Trujillo was the de facto leader and thus the real power holder behind-the-scenes, Peynado had little power in the presidency.
