The National Institutional Junta (Spanish: Junta Nacional Instituyente) was a legislative assembly established on 2 November 1822 by order of Emperor Agustín de Iturbide with the purpose of replacing the congress which he had dissolved. Iturbide declared that until a new congress could be convened, popular representation would reside within this Junta.[1]

Its first session was held on 2 November 1822 in the San Pedro and San Pablo College, where Juan Francisco de Castañiza y González, Marquis of Castañiza, was named president of the same. Then, this Junta was in charge of several matters of immediate need and prepared a project for convening a new congress. The Junta ceased its work at the beginning of March 1823, when Agustín de Iturbide reinstated the first congress again.
