Rubén Ignacio Zamora Rivas (born November 9, 1942) is a Salvadoran politician.

[1] After some time in exile, Rubén Zamora returned to El Salvador in November 1987 and helped to found the Convergencia Democrática (CD), a center-left electoral coalition that, still in the midst of the civil war, competed in the 1989 elections.

Its willingness to compete marked an attempt to reestablish a peaceful center-left.

In subsequent years he has run for office with various incarnations of center-left parties, such as the Centro Democrático Unido (CDU - United Democratic Center).

Serving as the Ambassador of El Salvador to The United States, he was known for his humble nature.
