Horacio Aguirre (20 April 1925 – 9 September 2017) was editor-in-chief of the first Spanish-language newspaper on the East Coast, Diario Las Américas that provided local and Latin American news to Spanish speakers in the southeast US and the Caribbean. His obituary in the Miami Herald said his "historic and emblematic leadership of Diario las Américas earned him the sobriquet civilian hero of this city."
