El Hijo del Ahuizote (English: The Son of the Ahuizotl) was a satirical Mexican weekly newspaper founded by Daniel Cabrera Rivera [es], Manuel Pérez Bibbins, and Juan Sarabia [es]. It published its first edition on 23 August 1885. The name was chosen to evoke the earlier newspaper El Ahuizote, founded in 1874 in opposition to President Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada.[1]

In July 1902, Ricardo and Enrique Flores Magón took over and expanded the publication. After their takeover, the content and caricatures were used to satirize and oppose President Porfirio Díaz.[2] It closed in April 1903 when the police arrested its entire staff; the Flores Magón brothers continued their journalistic work on the newspaper Regeneración.[1]

The newspaper is considered to be important to the Mexican Revolution.[3][4][5]
