Mariano Azuela, (born January 1, 1873, Lagos de Moreno, Jal, Mexico—died March 1, 1952, Mexico City), Mexican writer whose 20 novels chronicle almost every aspect of the Mexican Revolution.

Marino Azuela received an M.D. degree in Guadalajara (Escuela de Medicina-1899) and practiced medicine, first in his native town and after 1916 in Mexico City. His best-known work, Los de abajo (1916; The Under Dogs), depicting the futility of the revolution, was written at the campfire during forced marches while he served as an army doctor with Pancho Villa in 1915. Forced to flee across the border to El Paso, Texas, he first published the novel as a serial in the newspaper El Paso del Norte (October–December 1915). 
​

Returning from Texas to Mexico City in 1916, Azuela, disillusioned with the revolutionary struggle, wrote novels critical of the new regime: Las moscas (1918) and Los caciques (1917; together translated as Two Novels of Mexico: The Flies. The Bosses), and Las tribulaciones de una familia decente (1918; The Trials of a Respectable Family). He experimented with stylistic devices in later novels such as La malhora (1923; “The Evil Hour”), El desquite (1925; “Revenge”), and La luciérnaga (1932; The Firefly). His complete works appeared in three volumes in 1958–60.

The texts of his literary talks are grouped in the book "One Hundred Years of Mexican Novels." Several of his works have been taken to film and theater. He was a founding member of El Colegio Nacional (1943). In 1942 he receive the Prize for Literature and in 1949 the National Prize for Arts and Sciences. "Los de abajo" (The Under Dogs) is the best-selling novel in the history of Mexican  literature and has been translated into dozens of languages.
