Fernando de Errázuriz y Aldunate (1777-1841) was a Chilean political figure. He served as provisional president of Chile in 1831.
He was born in Santiago, the son of Francisco Javier de Errázuriz y Madariaga and of María Rosa Aldunate y Guerrero Carrera. He became a lawyer and participated in the independence movement in Chile. On October 2, 1801 he married María del Carmen Sotomayor Elzo, with whom he had 8 children.
On January 28, 1823, he again became a member, together with José Miguel Infante and Agustín Eyzaguirre, of the ruling Government Junta that took over from the resigned Supreme Director Bernardo O'Higgins, and lasted until April 4, 1823, when Ramón Freire assumed as the new Supreme Director.
After President José Tomás Ovalle died, General José Joaquín Prieto became the provisional president of Chile on March 31, 1831 but he couldn't constitutionally assume the duties of the position, so Francisco Errázuriz had to take over for him transitionally for six months until September 18, 1831 when Prieto was finally able to take over the job.
