Pablo Sánchez de Buitrago Sandoval y Benavente (25 January 1807 – 22 June 1882) was a legitimist Nicaraguan politician who served as the 2nd Supreme Director of Nicaragua from 4 March 1841 to 1 April 1843.

Buitrago was sent as a commissioner of Núñez's government to sign the Oreamuno-Buitrago Treaty with Francisco María Oreamuno of Costa Rica, a friendship and alliance agreement between the two newly independent states.

As a first official act, he replaced Francisco Castellón, who had been employed by Patricio Rivas, in the post of Minister General, with Simon Orozco, whom Buitrago could more easily control.

[citation needed] On 8 November 1849, the governments of Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras signed the "Pact of the Confederation" in León, an attempt to unite the states once again.

[citation needed] On 26 November 1856, he appeared before the Salvadoran President, Rafael Campo to certify his representation by the Republic of Nicaragua as Minister Plenipotentiary and Extraordinary Envoy.

On 15 March 1882, during the Great Morazán Civic Festival held in El Salvador, Buitrago was one of the special commissioners of the Central American nations, representing Nicaragua.
