Arqueles Vela (Guatemala/Tapachula 1899 – Mexico City 1977) was a Mexican writer, journalist and teacher, of Guatemalan origin. He was one of the major members of the Stridentism movement and author of La señorita Etcétera (1922), one of the earliest avant-garde narrative works.

He used to publish some articles with the pen-name "Silvestre Paradox" in the Mexican newspaper "El Universal Ilustrado", even though other journalists published with that pen-name too.
