Jorge Pacheco Areco (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxoɾxe paˈt͡ʃeko aˈɾeko]; April 9, 1920 – July 29, 1998) was a Uruguayan politician and journalist and the 33rd president of Uruguay, serving from 1967 to 1972. Formerly the Vice President of Uruguay Pacheco became President after the sudden death of Óscar Diego Gestido. A member of the Colorado Party, Pacheco Areco had previously been a member of the National Representative from 1963 to 1967, before becoming the vice president.

Areco has been identified with right-wing politics, with one study has arguing that "By the late 1960s and early 1970s Colorado presidents such as Jorge Pacheco Areco and Juan Maria Bordaberry, while paying lip service to Batlle's ideals, led right-wing administrations."
