Francisco Ruiz-Tagle Portales (sometime before 1790 - March 23, 1860) was a Chilean politician. In 1830, he was briefly president of the country.
Since 1811, he represented Los Andes in parliament. From 1812 to 1814, he served as senator and president of parliament, at the same time he was mayor of Santiago and the provincial governor. In 1822, he was the chairman of the congregation, which was to declare the independence from Peru. Under President Francisco Antonio Pinto Díaz, he was Minister of Finance.
In the course of the revolution in 1829, he was part of the governing junta from November 7. The junta nominated him as candidate for the following presidential election as well as provisional president on February 18, 1830. After internal discussions in the junta, he resigned six weeks later on March 31 to be succeeded by then-vice-president José Tomás Ovalle.
During the administration under Manuel Bulnes Prieto, Ruiz was nominated as privy council. He died on March 23, 1860.
