The National Institutional Junta (Spanish: Junta Nacional Instituyente) was the assembly created in Mexico on 2 November 1822 by order of Agustín de Iturbide composed of 47 members of Congress dissolved with the intention of occupying the Legislative Power instead of the Congress of 1822 extended according to the decree of 31 October 1822 where Iturbide declared that until a new congress could be convened, the national representation would fall to this Junta.^[1]

Its first session was held on 2 November 1822 in the San Pedro and San Pablo College, where , Marquis of Castañiza, was named president of the same. Then, this Junta was in charge of several matters of immediate need and prepared a project for convening a new congress. The Junta ceased its work at the beginning of March 1823, when Agustín de Iturbide reinstated the first congress again.
