Isaías Medina Angarita (6 July 1897 in San Cristóbal, Venezuela – 15 September 1953 in Caracas) was a Venezuelan military and political leader, president of Venezuela from 1941 until 1945.
Medina followed the path of his predecessor Eleazar López Contreras, and ruled the country's democratic transition process. He founded the Venezuelan Democratic Party in 1943. However, some in the Army considered him too liberal while other political enemies accused him of being too conservative, and both sides produced a putsch on 18 October 1945.
