Julio Acosta García (May 23, 1872 - July 6, 1954) was president of Costa Rica from 1919 to 1924.

He was born in San Ramon , Alajuela, to Don Juan Vicente Acosta and Doña Jesus García.

After a 1917 coup by the brothers Federico Tinoco and Joaquin Tinoco , Acosta escaped to El Salvador, but led a counter-revolution, entering San Jose on September 13, 1919. He was elected president on December 7.

In 1921 he nearly went to war with Panama over a border dispute, which ended with intervention (including the landing of troops) by the United States.
