General Miguel Rafael Dávila Cuellar (29 September 1856 – 11 October 1927) was President of Honduras between 18 April 1907 and 28 March 1911.[1]

There was an insurrection against him in December 1910 led by former President Manuel Bonilla.[2] The United States negotiated an armistice between the factions where it was agreed to hold elections in March 1911.[2] On March 4, 1911, Congress selected Francisco Beltran as provisional president.[2]

He occupied various posts in the government of Policarpo Bonilla, including Minister of Finance of Honduras.[3] He was Vice President in the cabinet of Manuel Bonilla from 1903 to 1907.

He died in Honduras on 11 October 1927.[4][5]
