Jesús María Ciriaco Jiménez Zamora (18 June 1823 – 12 February 1897) was a Costa Rican physician and politician who served as the 4th and 6th President of Costa Rica from 1863 to 1866, and from 1868 to 1870
He was popularly elected in 1863, but dissolved Congress two months into his term of office. During his presidency he granted asylum to former Salvadoran President Gen. Gerardo Barrios, as a result of which the other four Central American governments broke off diplomatic relations with Costa Rica.
He passed on the presidency democratically to José María Castro Madriz at the end of his mandate in 1866, only to overthrow him in a coup d'état two years later and assume the office of president for a second time. This second mandate, in turn, came to an end in a coup on 27 April 1870.
Jesús Jiménez was the father of three-time President Ricardo Jiménez Oreamuno.
