Fulgencio Yegros y Franco de Torres (born 1780 in Quyquyhó, died 1821) was a Paraguayan soldier, landowner and the first head of state of independent Paraguay.

Grandson of governor Fulgencio Yegros y Ledesma [es], he studied in Asunción and joined the Spanish colonial army.

He had his first combat experiences in 1802 against the Portuguese and in 1807 when he was part of the Paraguayan forces that defended Buenos Aires during British invasions of the Río de la Plata.

Following independence, from June 19, 1811 until October 12, 1813 Yegros was President of the five-man ruling Junta Superior Gubernativa which in 1813 was replaced by a two-man consulate.

Yegros and José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia were chosen by Congress in 1813 as Consuls of the Republic following the model of the French Revolution.
