Margarita Caro de Holguín (née Caro Tovar; 10 June 1848 – 28 April 1925) was the First Lady of Colombia from 1882 to 1892, as the wife of President Carlos Holguín Mallarino.
Born in Santa Fe de Bogotá, New Granada (now Bogotá, D.C.) in 1848, her husband became Minister of Foreign Affairs during the presidency of Rafael Núñez in 1887. After Núñez's resignation in 1888, her husband took office on August 7 of that year, having been confirmed by the Congress as the new president by presidential succession. Caro de Holguín later supported her brother during his presidency.
