Joaquín de Mendizábal y Tamborrel (Puebla, 29 March 1852 - México, 8 September 1926) was a Mexican topographical engineer.
He completed his elementary studies in his hometown and made the school in State College, where he installed a weather station.
From 1887 he was an honorary member of the Society Alzate, and in 1891 he made a trip to Europe to monitor the printing of his work table of logarithms to eight decimal places, written in French.
His travels to Europe became very frequent, and he represented his country at scientific conferences, which discussed issues on mathematics, geodesy, physics, metrology and geography.
His teaching career was also long: between 1888 and 1891 he taught calculus, astronomy and geodesy at the Colegio Militar de Chapultepec.
