Estanislao Figueras was a Catalan lawyer and republican politician who became the first President of the Executive Power of the First Spanish Republic when it was proclaimed in February 1873 after Amadeo I abdicated. Overwhelmed by divisions between federal and unitary republicans, the Carlist war and unrest, he left office abruptly in June 1873 and was succeeded by Francesc Pi i Margall.
