Alfredo Baquerizo Moreno (28 September 1859, in Guayaquil – 20 March 1951) was an Ecuadorian politician. He served as Vice President of Ecuador of Leónidas Plaza and Lizardo García from 1903 to 1906[1] and as President of Ecuador three times in August – September 1912, September 1916[2] – August 1920 and October 1931 – August 1932. He was President of the Senate from 1912 to 1915, and in 1930. He was a member of the Ecuadorian Radical Liberal Party.

Moreno is noted for sanctioning the abolition of the agricultural practice of concertaje,[3] which was a system of contracted debt that held Indian hacienda laborers called conceirtos under threat of imprisonment.[4] His administration was also considered a factor in the public disenchantment that led to the July Revolution of July 9, 1925.[5]
