Vicente Lucio Salazar (20 December 1832 – 14 February 1896) was Acting President of Ecuador between 16 April 1895 and 1 September 1895.

He became a Juris Doctor and worked as an economist for thirty years, serving variously as the Minister of Finance in 1873, 1883, 1884-1887, 1888, and 1893.

His president, though, was caught up in a controversy regarding the First Sino-Japanese War, called the Venta De La Bandera.

This led to a resignation filed on 28 June 1895 (where he was succeeded by Eloy Alfaro) and later death on14 February 1896 in Quito.
