José Domingo Molina Gómez (1896–1969) was a de facto interim President of Argentina from September 21, 1955 until September 23, 1955.

On September 19, President Perón wrote a confused letter addressed to general Lucero, which appeared to be a resignation letter. So a military junta composed of general José Domingo Molina and other military officers, was created. Later that day Perón said it was not a real resignation, but at first time, next morning he asked for asylum in Paraguay, leaving the government in the hands of the military junta.
