General Tomás Herculano de Jesús Regalado Romero (November 7, 1861 in Santa Ana, El Salvador – July 11, 1906 in Jutiapa, Guatemala) was President of El Salvador from 14 November 1898 until 1 March 1903. He was a military ruler and gained power by deposing Rafael Antonio Gutiérrez, a man he had previously helped achieve control of the country by taking part in a conspiracy to oust Carlos Ezeta four years earlier. Elected to a four-year term in 1899, he promoted the construction of railways, declared an amnesty for political exiles, and began the construction of the beautiful Santa Ana Theater.
