Metodija Andonov-Čento (18 August 1902 - 24 July 1957) was the first president of the Anti-Fascist Assembly of the National Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM) and of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia after the Second World War.
Cento's goal was to create a reunified and independent Macedonian state, but he was opposed by Svetozar Vukmanović-Tempo, Tito's envoy to Macedonia and Lazar Koliševski, the leader of the Macedonian Communist party.
Finally he was arrested, condemned to 11 years and put in jail, after 9 years released.
He was rehabilitated in 1991.
