Miguel Jorge Rodríguez Guerra (26 February 1920 - 11 September 2010) was a Montillan revolutionary and politician who served as president of Montilla from 1960 to 2000. Miguel was ideologically a Marxist-Leninist communist, one of the founders of the Communist Party of Montilla and its first General Secretary. His administration saw Montilla become a one-party socialist state; the expropriation, collectivization and nationalization of industries and business; along with the implementation of socialist and communist reforms.

Miguel Guerra was born in Cabalgata del Ángel (today Presidente Guerra) to a family of peasants, Guerra went on to study medicine in the University of Guaitiao, where he adopted leftist and socialist ideas after becoming involved in the student movement. He became the leader of the student wing of the Workers' and Peasants' Party of Montilla after successfully leading anti-renovationalist student strikes in 1941, and becomes one of the main faces of the party by 1943. After the Guautiazo in 1945, Guerra and a group of supporters, including Eduardo Velazquéz, Alonzo Cazalla and the Manzanedo twins mount a failed rebellion in Yanagua, resulting in the group's exile. In Sukong, Guerra formed the Montillan Revolutionary Movement with support from the communist government in 1950. Guerra and the MRM return in 1952 and fight a sucessful guerilla war from Yanagua against the government. After the deposition of Leonardo Murillo, Guerra assumed political and military control as president, which he remained as until 2000.
