Marcelino Gutiérrez Chávez (31 May 1829 – 9 December 1904) was a Peruvian colonel who had a minor role in the coup d'état headed by his brother Tomás Gutiérrez against then president José Balta on 22 July 1872, being the only one of his brothers to survive the riots caused in the aftermath of Balta's murder on 26 July.

2),[2] stationed at Santa Catalina barracks, had a very minor role in the coup d'état headed by his three brothers.

Initially given refuge by a friendly family,[1] he attempted to flee to the port of Callao, but was later imprisoned and put on trial.

In 1880, he was ordered by Nicolás de Piérola to organise the Battalion "Peruvian Legion" (Legión Peruana), whose command he assumed until July, which formed part of the Vanguard Division headed by Manuel Leyva [es].

Despite having the authorisation to march towards Tacna to assist the army stationed there, the division reached Moquegua and returned to Arequipa.
