Oreste Ramos Díaz is a Puerto Rican politician and former senator. He served as a member of the Senate of Puerto Rico from 1977 to 1996, representing the New Progressive Party (PNP).
Ramos was first elected to the Senate of Puerto Rico at the 1976 elections. He represented the District of San Juan, and was reelected in 1980, 1984, 1988, and 1992.[1]

However, Melinda Romero was chosen.[3][4]
After that, Ramos has worked as a legal advisor for the Senate and for Representative Liza Fernández.[5]
