Ramón Arturo Cáceres Vasquez (15 December 1866, Moca, Dominican Republic – 19 November 1911, Santo Domingo), nicknamed Mon Cáceres, was a Dominican Republic politician and minister of the Armed Forces. He was the 31st president of the Dominican Republic (1906–1911). He served as vice president under Carlos Felipe Morales until assuming office in 1906. Cáceres was the leader of the right-wing Red Party.
Cáceres was assassinated in 1911 after being ambushed by rebels and killed in his car. His death was followed by a civil war and, ultimately, by the U.S. occupation of the Dominican Republic in 1916.
A metro station in Santo Domingo is named after him.
