Miguel de Azcuénaga (June 4, 1754 – December 19, 1833) was an Argentine brigadier.
Educated in Spain, at the University of Seville, Azcuénaga began his military career in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata and became a member of the Primera Junta, the first autonomous government of modern Argentina.
He was shortly exiled because of his support to the minister Mariano Moreno, and returned to Buenos Aires when the First Triumvirate replaced the Junta.
He held several offices since then, most notably being the first Governor intendant of Buenos Aires after the May Revolution.
He died at his country house (the modern Quinta de Olivos) in 1833.
