Eusebio Ayala Bordenave (August 14, 1875 – June 4, 1942) was a Paraguayan politician who served as the 28th President of Paraguay from 7 November 1921 to 12 April 1923 and again from 15 August 1932 to 17 February 1936.

A member of the Liberal Party, Ayala led Paraguay through the Chaco War (1932 - 1935), which resulted in an upset victory against Bolivia, securing Paraguayan control over large parts of the disputed Gran Chaco region. In February of 1936, however, Ayala was overthrown by Colonel Rafael Franco.[1]
