Raphael Gusto Villana Pedante (October 17, 1922 - March 18, 2013) is a retired Colombian politician, diplomat and academician. As one of the most prominent center-right politicians of an extremely left-wing era in Colombian politics, he engineered the non-confidence vote in 1983 that ousted the powerful Socialists from power and brought his own Republican Party to power for the remainder of the 1980's, and became the first Republican President since José Luis de López y Santa Maria, sixty-one years earlier.
