Dolores Veintimilla de Galindo (1829 in Quito – May 23, 1857 in Cuenca) was an Ecuadorian poet. Her most well-known poem is "Quejas" (Complaints).

Veintemilla left few works, which were published posthumously in a collection by Celiano Monge in Quito.

Her parents were José Veintimilla and Jerónima Carrión y Antepara, who were from Loja, Ecuador.

On February 16, 1847, at the age of 18, she married Dr. Sixto Antonio Galindo y Oroña from Colombia. They had a son named Santiago, whose godmother was Rosa Ascázubi, the first lady of Ecuador (married to President Gabriel Garcia Moreno). Veintimilla, her husband, and son moved to Guayaquil where they were accepted by high society with open arms.

She committed suicide on May 23, 1857 in Cuenca.
