Guillermo Correa Fuenzalida (10 March 1900 – 14 March 1970) was a Chilean lawyer, academic and politician. A member of the Liberal Party, he served as a deputy representing the 11th Departmental Grouping during the 1933–1937 legislative period and held several ministerial posts during his public career.[1]

Correa Fuenzalida was born in Curicó to Rafael Correa Correa and Ignacia Fuenzalida O’Ryan. He married Luz María Ossa Undurraga, with whom he had six children.[1]

He studied at the Liceo de Hombres de Curicó, the Instituto Nacional, and later pursued legal studies at the University of Chile. He qualified as a lawyer on 21 November 1921, with a thesis titled Pago por subrogación.[1]

He combined teaching, professional and administrative activities. In 1922, he was appointed extraordinary professor of Civil Code, and in 1926 became a tenured professor at the Law School of the University of Chile. He served as director of the school between 1925 and 1927.[1]

From 1922 onward, he worked as a lawyer for the Banco Hipotecario and the Sociedad de Turismo y Hoteles de Chile.[1]
