Raoul Lowery Contreras is a Mexican-American author, radio talk show host, and columnist, and aspiring politician, known for his centrist politics. He has gained notoriety as a defender of immigrants, illegal and otherwise, especially those from his native Mexico.

His writing is somewhat controversial and usually draws passionate agreement or virulent criticism. He is reviled by the anti-immigration crowd as well as the more radical Chicano activists. He is a member of the Republican party and entered his name in a bid to become a committee member of the San Diego County Republican board in 2004.
