The First Lady of Colombia (Spanish: Primera Dama de Colombia) is the unofficial title of the spouse of the sitting President of Colombia.
Since August 2010 the First Lady is María Clemencia Rodríguez Múnera. At present, there are seven living former first ladies: María Cristina Arango Vega, widow of Misael Pastrana Borrero; Cecilia Caballero Blanco, widow of Alfonso López Michelsen; Nydia Quintero Turbay, ex-wife of Julio César Turbay Ayala; Ana Milena Muñoz Gómez, wife of César Gaviria Trujillo; Jacquin Strouss Lucena, wife of Ernesto Samper Pizano; Nohra Puyana Bickenbach, wife of Andrés Pastrana Arango; and Lina María Moreno Mejía, wife of Álvaro Uribe Vélez.
The spouse of the President of Colombia has up until now, always been a woman, and so have been most of the spouses of those who have run for office, with the most recent exception being Noemí Sanín Posada, a Conservative party presidential candidate in the 2002 and 2010 presidential elections, who although unmarried both times, her boyfriend, Javier Aguirre, was given a similar treatment by the media during the campaign as the wives of the rest of the candidates, noting that he would have been the first man to accompany a "presidentress" to the Palace of Nariño.
