Miguel Boyer (5 February 1939 – 29 September 2014) was a Spanish economist and politician, who served as minister of economy, treasury and commerce from 1982 to 1985.

[4] He served as the director of planning for the Unión Explosivos Río Tinto and later as a senior economist at the Bank of Spain.

[4] Boyer was appointed minister of economy, treasury and commerce to the first cabinet of Felipe González on 2 December 1982.

[13][15] It was speculated that Boyer was forced to resign due to his clash with Deputy Prime Minister Alfonso Guerra.

[13][14] In addition, Boyer attempted to increase his power in the cabinet and demanded to assume the post of second vice prime minister, also leading to his forced resignation.

[16] Shortly after leaving office Boyer was named as the chief executive of the Banco Exterior de Espana and next of the investment company, Cartera Central.

[23] In February 1992, Boyer and Mariano Rubio, former governor of the Bank of Spain, were accused of fraud and share-price manipulation in relation to the Ibercorp.

[28] Their priority was to reduce inflation, using steps to control the money supply, which reinforced the high levels of interest and a strong currency.

[33][34] Boyer died of a pulmonary embolism after being admitted to the Ruber International Hospital in Madrid on 29 September 2014.
