José María Lozano (29 October 1878 – 17 August 1933) was a Mexican lawyer and conservative politician who briefly served as Secretary of Public Instruction and Fine Arts and Secretary of Commerce and Public Works in the cabinet of Victoriano Huerta, the army general who assumed control of the country following a coup d'état against the democratically-elected president, Francisco I. Madero.[1]

Before assuming his post in the cabinet, Lozano served as federal congressman in the Chamber of Deputies, where he led a group of conservative Anti-Maderistas along fellow deputies Nemesio García Naranjo of Nuevo León, Francisco de Olaguíbel of State of Mexico, and Querido Moheno of Chiapas.[2] At Huerta's request, he also tried to build a legislative majority sympathetic to his regime.[3]

During Huerta's first period, the House of Representatives had a liberal majority (most of its members had been elected during Madero's administration) that effectively served as a true counterweight to conservative members José María Lozano of Jalisco, Nemesio García Naranjo of Nuevo León, Francisco de Olaguiberri [sic] of the Mexico State, Querido Moheno of Chiapas, and the Catholic minority, so the liberals were able to put obstacles before the executive powers.

Lozano enjoyed considerable prestige in the legislative chambers and could presumably exercise some influence there. When Congress continued to be recalcitrant, Huerta took an additional step the following month: he commissioned Lozano to form a majority bloc in the chamber of deputies and at the same time appointed Catholic party Deputy Eduardo Tamariz to the cabinet.
