María Josefa García Granados y Zavala (10 July 1796 - 28 July 1848) was a Guatemalan intellectual, writer, journalist and poet of Spanish origin, and one of the greatest intellectual exponents of the independence of Guatemala in 1821.
She was also a feminist ahead of her time, who with her strong and dominant character prevailed in Guatemalan society.
She was the sister of General Miguel García Granados, who was the first liberal president of Guatemala, and Adelaida García Granados, who was tutor of Petrona Álvarez, wife of General Rafael Carrera, lifelong conservative president of Guatemala.
As his family was part of the Aycinena clan, they suffered exile and dispossession of their property by Francisco Morazán in 1829.
