Manuel Domínguez (5 June 1868 – 29 October 1935) was a Paraguayan politician, diplomat and writer. He was Vice President of Paraguay during colonel Juan Antonio Escurra's government (1902–1904), but fought against his forces during the civil war in 1904. He would thus be one of the few colorados to be politically relevant during the rival Liberal Party's hegemony of power which ensued after said conflict, even being Minister of Justice, Religion and Public Education during Albino Jara's troubled presidency, which immediately preceded the 1911 civil war.
