Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Martínez (5 June 1929 – 27 December 1969), better known as Ramfis Trujillo, was the son of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, dictator of the Dominican Republic, after whose 1961 assassination he briefly held power. Nominally an army general, he lived a playboy lifestyle similar to his friend and brother-in-law Porfirio Rubirosa. Remembered for his repression of political opponents, he went into exile in Spain, where he succumbed to his injuries 10 days after crashing a sports car.
