Claudio Vicuña Guerrero (Santiago, December 31, 1833 - Santiago, February 28, 1907) was a politician and diplomat from Chile, who served as Minister of the Interior between 1890 and 1891 during the government of José Manuel Balmaceda, in the midst of the outbreak of the Chilean Civil War of 1891. He was elected President of the Republic of Chile in the July 1891 election, although he was unable to take office due to the opposition's victory over Balmaceda in the civil war.
