Pablo Arturo Palacio Suárez (Loja, 25 January 1906–Guayaquil, 7 January 1947) was an Ecuadorian writer and lawyer. He was one of the founders of the avant-garde movement in Ecuador and Latin America[1][2] and one of the most controversial members of the so-called 1930s generation of Ecuadorian authors.[3]

His work is very different from that of the costumbrismo writers of the time,[4] especially since the predominant trends in fiction then focused more on indigenismo and social realism.[5][6][7]

His literary work is not very extensive, and consists of the play Comedia Inmortal (1926), the short story collection Un hombre muerto a puntapiés (1927) and the novels Débora (1927) and Vida del ahorcado (1932).[5]
