Epitácio Lindolfo da Silva Pessoa (Portuguese pronunciation: 23 May 1865 – 13 February 1942) was a Brazilian politician and jurist who served as 11th President of Brazil between 1919 and 1922, when Rodrigues Alves was unable to take office due to illness, after being elected in 1918. His period of government was marked by military revolts that would culminate in the Revolution of 1930, which brought Getúlio Vargas into control of the federal government.
