'''José María Cornejo y Merino''' (10 November 1788 – 24 November 1864) was a Salvadoran politician. Two times he served as chief of state of El Salvador (1829–30 and 1830–32).
'''José María Cornejo Merino y Guevara''' (10 November 1788 – 24 November 1864) was a Salvadoran politician and lawyer who served as the 4th [[List of presidents of El Salvador#State of El Salvador (1824–1841)|Head of State of El Salvador]] on two occasions between 1829 and 1832.


A prominent leader of the Conservative Party, Cornejo is noted for his strong opposition to the federal government of [[Francisco Morazán]]. During his tenure as the 4th Head of State, he attempted to declare El Salvador's separation from the [[Federal Republic of Central America]] in 1832, which led to a military conflict with federal forces. After the fall of San Salvador to Morazán's troops in April 1832, Cornejo was deposed and imprisoned in Guatemala. He eventually returned to political life in his home department of San Vicente.
