Jesús Urzagasti (1941–2013) was a Bolivian poet and novelist. He worked as a journalist for the now-defunct Catholic paper Presencia from 1972 until the 1990s, where he served as editor of the supplement "Presencia Literaria" (1992) among other sections.[1]

His 1969 novel Tirinea is considered by critics to be one of the best Bolivian novels.
