Carlos Coimbra da Luz (August 4, 1894 Três Corações –February 9, 1961 Rio de Janeiro) was a Brazilian politician. After the political crisis following the Getúlio Vargas suicide in 1954, Carlos Luz was the second of three presidents that ruled Brazil in a brief period of 16 months. At the time of President Café Filho's resignation he was the president of the Chamber of Deputies, and so the next in the line of succession to the Presidency, since Café Filho had been the Vice President under Vargas. Luz headed the government only two days in November 1955 and was deposed by the military.
