Mariano Paredes (1800—1856) was President of Guatemala from January 1, 1849—November 6, 1851 as a compromise chief of state. Paredes, an army colonel, came to power after Rafael Carrera was ineffective in quelling uprisings in eastern Guatemala and short-term governments failed to restore order. But Mariano Paredes was unable to control Guatemala.

Carrera fled to Mexico but returned to office in 1851.^[1]
