María Paula Acevedo Guzmán, known as Chichita and Chichita Caamaño, (June 30, 1932 – January 7, 2021) was a Dominican activist and First Lady of the Dominican Republic from May 4, 1965, to August 30, 1965. Acevedo was the wife of Colonel Francisco Caamaño, who became the constitutional President of the Dominican Republic during the Dominican Civil War of 1965. Caamaño was one of the leaders of the movement to restore the democratically elected former president, Juan Bosch, who had been overthrown in a military coup d'état in September 1963.
