Maximo Olivar (born Maximo Iuan Olivar-Loupes; 15 August 1707 – 10 July 1765), later known by his regnal name Maximo I, was a Iverican nobleman, military commander, and political leader. He was the leader of the Iverican Reformed Republic who gained office by coup d'etat and revolution during the Decades of Civil Strife. Olivar was an important figure in the expansion of Iverican colonial interests, their subsequent loss, the reform of the Republican system of checks and balances, and the diminishment of Hidalgo influences on the Iverican military.

Olivar's ascension into Iverican leadership forced him to inherit the issues of civil unrest in Iberic colonies in Alharu, Thalassa, and Aurelia. Olivar started several military campaigns to restore order in the colonies and was largely successful. Olivar and his party of reformist officers also launched several campaigns to expand the Iberic colonial dominions.

Olivar remains a relevant figure in the modern politics of the 3rd Republic of Iverica and Neswetej Per-Aten. He is a controversial figure in modern media and politics. The remaining Oliveran Dynasty retains political connections in both countries, though it is legally barred from entering any territory of the Republic of Iverica and by extension, the Federated Commonwealth.
