Javier García Paniagua (February 13, 1935 – November 25, 1998) was a Mexican politician who served as president of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in 1981[1] and held positions in the cabinet of President José López Portillo as Secretary of Agrarian Reform and Secretary of Labor and Social Welfare.[2]

He died in his native Jalisco on November 25, 1998.[2]
