Max Delvalle Levy-Maduro (February 27, 1911 – December 20, 1979) was a Panamanian politician who served as vice president from 1964 to 1968 and briefly served as president in 1967.

In 1967, the country was convulsed politically. The National Assembly removed the President Marco Aurelio Robles Méndez and gave possession to Delvalle, but the decision was not respected by the commander of the National Guard, General Bolívar Vallarino. From April 8 to April 15, 1967, Delvalle served as president of Panama. He said at the time that there were only two Jewish presidents in the world, the president of the State of Israel and him.^[1]
