The Conjugal Dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos is a 1976 memoir written in exile by former press censor and propagandist Primitivo Mijares. It details the inner workings of Philippine martial law under Ferdinand Marcos from the perspective of Mijares.

The book's use of the term "conjugal dictatorship" has since been used to denote the rule of Philippine president and dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda Marcos, and is also used to describe a type of familial dictatorship.[1][2]
