Juan Williams Rebolledo (c. 1825 – 24 June 1910) was a Chilean rear admiral who was the organizer and commander-in-chief of the Chilean navy in 1879 at the beginning of the War of the Pacific.[1] As a politician, he was elected from Valparaiso to the national Congress in 1867, and in 1873 he was elected as city councillor.
