Jovino Novoa Vidal (Concepción, 1822 — Santiago, February 14, 1892) was a Chilean lawyer, diplomat and liberal politician. He served several times as a parliamentarian, in addition to having been mayor of the province of Valparaíso from 1858 to 1860 and, then Minister of Finance between 1859 and 1861, both during the administration of President Manuel Montt. During the War of the Pacific (1879), he served as minister plenipotentiary in Lima, for which he signed the Treaty of Ancón, remaining in office until 1886. Simultaneously he functioned as ambassador of Chile to the Kingdom of Spain, signing the 1883 Chilean–Spanish Treaty, which put an end to the state of war between both nations in force since the Spanish–South American War (1864-1866).[1]
