Guillermo Trujillo Durán (10 February 1878 – 11 February 1967) was a Venezuelan poet and politician. He is also remembered for his work in journalism and film, alongside his brother. In 1930, he was awarded one of the highest honors for civilian services to Venezuela, being made a Grand Officer of the Order of the Liberator.
His poetry has been described as "a mixture of classical, romantic and modernist rhythms where he sings heroic deeds, but is considered superficial, full of common places, with fragile images, despite internal musicality" (Jesús Angél Semprún Parra).
As a public servant, he twice served as Vice President of the National Assembly, and undertook several roles across Venezuela.
