Rubén Aguilar (1946 - ) is a journalist, a former guerrilla, and the press secretary for Mexican President Vicente Fox. He is son of a former chair of the Banking Association in Mexico, and a former Jesuit (he left the order in 1979 after 13 years).

He was involved in a guerrilla in El Salvador for five years before he returned to Mexico. He was part of the "Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional" (Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front) whose slogan was "Revolution or Death! The armed people will win!". In that front he led the Information Committee where he founded the Salpress news agency (based in Mexico) and helped to bring all injustices to public light.
