Rafael Hipólito Mejía Domínguez is a Dominican politician who served as President of the Dominican Republic from 2000 to 2004.

In the presidential election of 2004, he ran for a second term as the candidate of the Dominican Revolutionary Party but he was defeated by Leonel Fernández from the Dominican Liberation Party.
