Jorge Zalamea Borda (March 8, 1905 – May 10, 1969) was a Colombian writer, poet, and journalist, best known for his anti-dictatorship satirical prose works. His poems, dramas, novels, and essays are notable for their linguistic richness and ascetic, dense style. He typically explored themes of equality and liberty in his writings. His most well-known works include El sueño de la escalinatas and El Gran Burundú-Burundá ha muerto. He was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize in 1967.
