Carlos Quintanilla Quiroga (22 January 1888 – 8 June 1964) was a Bolivian military officer who served as the 37th president of Bolivia from 1939 to 1940. Quintanilla saw action in the initial stages of the Chaco War (1932–1935) and managed to ascend the echelon of the Bolivian armed forces until he became commander of the army during the administration of Germán Busch. When President Busch committed suicide on 23 August 1939, Quintanilla declared himself Provisional President of the Republic. Though Quintanilla had ambitions of exercising a longer government, pressure from both the left and right wings of the political spectrum forced him to call general elections on 10 March 1940.
