Ángel Aníbal Guevara Rodríguez (Template:IPAc-en) is a Guatemalan soldier and politician.[1] He was born in La Democracia, Escuintla in 1925.

Having served as defense minister in the previous administration, Guevara was victorious in the 7 March 1982 presidential election to succeed outgoing President Romeo Lucas, who had hand-picked him as his successor. However, the election was widely denounced as fraudulent by both left-wing and right-wing groups. A military-led coup d'état, two weeks after the election, prevented Guevara from assuming power and instead installed a three-man junta headed by Gen. Efraín Ríos Montt.[2]

He ran again in 1995 but failed to gain much support.

Currently, he is one of the oldest person on INTERPOL’s Red Notice list for crimes against humanity.
