Dolores Marta Gracia de Gangotena y Jijón was an Ecuadorian art collector, conservationist.

She was First Lady of Ecuador to Camilo Ponce Enríquez from 16 September 1956 to 31 August 1960.

[citation needed] Despite prejudices of the times and the opposition of her father, Gangotena entered university and studied fine arts.

[1] As First Lady of Ecuador, Gangotena was the host of Carondelet Palace and attended national and international functions for her husband's government.

Because the Carondelet Palace was undergoing remodeling, many of those functions were held at the Gangotena Palace [es] on the Plaza de San Francisco in Quito,[2] or the Hacienda La Herrería in the Los Chillos valley [es].
