Oswaldo López Arellano (1921–2010) was a Honduran air force officer who seized power in a coup in October 1963 against President Ramón Villeda Morales and dominated Honduran politics until 1975. He ruled from 1963 to 1971, a period that included the Football War with El Salvador in 1969, and again after a second coup from 1972. He was ousted in April 1975 after the Bananagate bribery scandal.
