Jacobo Majluta Azar (9 October 1934 – 2 March 1996) was 47th president of the Dominican Republic for a month in 1982. He was previously the 32nd vice president under President Antonio Guzmán Fernández from 1978 until his accession to the presidency. Following Fernández's death in July 1982, Majluta completed his term and handed over power to Salvador Jorge Blanco the following month.
Majulta was one of the generations of politicians in the Dominican Republic whose ambition was continually thwarted by the country's labyrinthine power struggles and sectarianism.
