Eduardo Santos Montejo (August 28, 1888 – March 27, 1974) was a leading Colombian publisher and politician, active in the Colombian Liberal Party.[1] He purchased the prominent Bogotá newspaper El Tiempo in 1913; El Tiempo was founded by his brother-in-law Alfonso Villegas Restrepo in 1911.[2] Members of the Santos family were the main shareholders of the paper until 2007.[2]

He served as the President of Colombia from August 1938 to August 1942, having been elected without opposition.[2] He was born and died in Bogotá, and was the great-uncle of the 32nd president of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos (2010–2018), and former Colombian Vice President Francisco Santos Calderon (2002–2010).
