The Salvadoran military dictatorship was the period of time in Salvadoran history where the Salvadoran Armed Forces governed the country for almost 48 years from 2 December 1931 until 15 October 1979.

The National Party of the Fatherland, usually translated as the National Pro Patria Party or simply the Pro Patria Party, was a far-right political party which was the sole-legal political party in El Salvador from its establishment in 1933 until its dissolution in 1945. The party was founded by President General Maximiliano Hernández Martínez to support his government.
The Civic Directory was a military junta which governed El Salvador from 2 to 4 December 1931. The junta was composed of twelve members of the Armed Forces of El Salvador from the army, air force, and National Guard. The directory marked the beginning of the era of military dictatorships in El Salvador which lasted until October 1979 with the 1979 Salvadoran coup d'état and the establishment of the Revolutionary Government Junta, a joint civilian-military government which ruled until 1982.
