Luis Rafael de la Trinidad Otilio Ulate Blanco served as President of Costa Rica from 1949 to 1953.
His disputed election in 1948, whereby he was denied victory by the legislature in favor of Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia, was the direct cause of José Figueres Ferrer's armed uprising of that year and the ensuing 40-day civil war.
