Lysius Salomon — known during the Boyer period as "Salomon jeune" (Salomon the younger) — was a leading figure of the National Party and president of Haiti from 1879 to 1888.
He is treated in nicholls-from-dessalines-to-duvalier-ch-notes as one of the central political protagonists of the Liberal versus National Party era and as an early representative of the noiriste political tradition.
