Jose Maria 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'etat against the democratically-elected president, Francisco I. Madero.
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 Garcia Naranjo of Nuevo Leon, Francisco de Olaguibel of State of Mexico, and Querido Moheno of Chiapas. At Huerta's request, he also tried to build a legislative majority sympathetic to his regime.
