Benito Aguas Atlahua (9 March 1979 – 9 December 2024) was a Mexican politician from the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM). He was elected the municipal president of Zongolica, Veracruz, in 2021 and, at the time of his death, was a serving member of the Chamber of Deputies.

Aguas Atlahua was born in Zongolica, Veracruz, in 1979. He graduated as a quality-control engineer from the Universidad Veracruzana (UV) in 2002.

In the 2017 Veracruz state elections [es] he was the PVEM's candidate for municipal president of Zongolica. He came in second place with 6,533 votes, behind the 8,319 received by Juan Carlos Mezhua Campos of the PAN-PRD coalition.

He ran again for the positon of Zongolica municipal president in the 2021 state elections [es], this time for the Juntos Hacemos Historia coalition (Morena, PVEM, PT). This time he was successful and he took office on 1 January 2022 for a three-year term ending on 31 December 2025. On 28 February 2024, however, the Congress of Veracruz granted him a leave of absence from his position to stand for Congress as the Sigamos Haciendo Historia coalition's candidate for the eighteenth federal electoral district of Veracruz.

In the 2024 federal election he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies with 59.07% of the vote, over the 28.51% received by Erika Neri Medina of the Fuerza y Corazón por México coalition. He served on the Chamber's committees for infrastructure, migratory affairs, and Indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples.

On 9 December 2024, in the town of Tepenacaxtla, municipality of Zongolica, he was shot at by an individual on a motorcyclebike. Seriously injured, he was taken to a hospital in the municipal seat and then to another in the city of Orizaba, where he died the same day as a result of the wounds he received.
