Vicente Florencio Carlos Riva Palacio Guerrero better known as Vicente Riva Palacio (16 October 1832 – 22 November 1896) was a Mexican liberal politician, novelist, journalist, intellectual, historian, and military leader.

Riva Palacio was born in Mexico City. His father was Mariano Riva Palacio, a moderate liberal, and his mother was María de los Dolores Guerrero Hernández, daughter of independence hero and president of Mexico Vicente Guerrero and María de Guadalupe Hernández. Vicente's father worked for the Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico in Querétaro during the Second French intervention, but Riva Palacio led forces in defense of the Mexican Republic against the French-backed empire.
