Jorge Alejandro Muyshondt Álvarez (12 February 1977 – 7 February 2024) was a Salvadoran politician who served as a national security advisor to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele from 2019 to 2023. Muyshondt previously served as Bukele's security advisor from 2017 to 2019 while Bukele was mayor of San Salvador.
In July 2023, Muyshondt alleged that Nuevas Ideas deputy Erick García was involved in MS-13 drug trafficking operations ultimately resulting in García's arrest and expulsion from the Legislative Assembly. On 9 August 2023, Muyshondt was arrested by the National Civil Police and was accused by Bukele of being a double agent for former Salvadoran President Mauricio Funes. Muyshondt was admitted to the Hospital Saldaña in October 2023 after suffering a stroke and died in custody in February 2024. His family alleges that he "was silenced" and tortured by the government.
