General Francisco Malespín Herrera (1806^[1] – 25 November 1846^[2]) was an army officer and politicians, elected as the president of El Salvador in 1844. He served from 7 February 1844 to 15 February 1845, when he was deposed by his vice president Joaquín Eufrasio Guzmán after leading the country to war against Guatemala, a neighboring state of the Federal Republic of Central America.^[3] Numerous sources also confirm that Malespin also attempted to depose the provincial Nicaraguan government.^[4] After being deposed, Malespin returned to El Salvador with forces from Honduras, but he was captured and assassinated.^[5] Some of Malespin's closest allies were Francisco Ferrera in Honduras as well as Juan Lindo, both conservatives.^[6] He was supported by Honduras after his downfall.

Like many other Conservatives, Malespin opposed Francisco Morazan, a prominent liberal politician, who opposed dissolving the Federal Republic of Central America.
