Javier García Paniagua (February 13, 1935 – November 25, 1998) was a Mexican politician who served as president of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in 1981 and held positions in the cabinet of President José López Portillo as Secretary of Agrarian Reform and Secretary of Labor and Social Welfare.
His name was frequently mentioned among the possible candidates to serve as President of Mexico for the 1982–88 term, but ultimately López Portillo chose Miguel de la Madrid to contend for the PRI in the 1982 general election.
He died in his native Jalisco on November 25, 1998.
