José María Mata Reyes (13 November 1819 – 25 February 1895) was a 19th-century liberal politician and diplomat from Mexico who served for two months as minister of Finance in the cabinet of Benito Juárez (1860–1861),[1][3] three months as minister of Foreign Affairs in the cabinet of Porfirio Díaz (1878),[4] as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of Mexico to the United States (1859–1860),[5][6] as congressman in the Chamber of Deputies, and as municipal president of Martínez de la Torre, Veracruz.[2][1]

Aside from his political and diplomatic activities, Mata served as a militiaman during the Mexican–American War and as a general in the army commanded by Porfirio Díaz during the French intervention in Mexico.[1]
