Teodorico Quirós Alvarado (28 August 1897 – 27 July 1977) was a Costa Rican expressionist painter, muralist, and architect. He is considered one of the most influential painters from Costa Rica.

He designed numerous public buildings, including a large number of churches, considered to be of great architectural value. The architecture library at the University of Costa Rica is named after him, and the Costa Rican Museum of Art established the Teodorico Quirós Prize in 1998 in his honor.
