The Provisional Government of Cibao was a de facto independent state established in the Cibao region of the Dominican Republic during the Revolution of 1857. From 1857 to 1858 it operated separately from the government in Santo Domingo under President Buenaventura Báez, with its own authorities, institutions, and constitution. The movement culminated in the proclamation of the Constitution of Moca (1858), which gave the Cibao government the character of a rival national state and marked one of the most important episodes of Cibaenian separatism and regional autonomy.
