José Bruno Carranza Ramírez (5 October 1822 – 25 January 1891) was a Costa Rican physician, journalist and politician who served as the 7th President of Costa Rica from April to August 1870. Appointed with the title of Temporary Head of the Republic, he came to power in the coup d'état of 27 April 1870 that deposed President Jesús Jiménez. He resigned three months later.
His parents were Miguel Carranza Fernández (Vice-Head of State between 1838 and 1841) and Joaquina Ramírez y García. In 1847 he married Gerónima Montealegre, sister of President José María Montealegre Fernández. His great-great-granddaughter is actress Madeleine Stowe.
