José Federico Alberto de Jesús Tinoco Granados (21 November 1868 – 7 September 1931) was a Costa Rican military officer and politician who served as the 21st President of Costa Rica from 1917 to 1919. He seized power in a coup d'état that overthrew the constitutionally appointed president, Alfredo González Flores, under whom Tinoco had served as Minister of War and Navy. Following the coup, he established a one-party regime and ruled as a dictator. His government lasted until 1919 and marked the last military dictatorship in Costa Rican history.
