Orlando Cornejo Bustamante (26 October 1929 — 20 April 2015) was the 37th Mayor of the commune of Pichilemu, office which he held between September 1992 and December 1996, representing the Union of the Centrist Center (UCC). He was the first mayor of Pichilemu to be elected following the Chilean transition to democracy. In 1996 and 2000, he ran again as a candidate in the municipal elections of these years, but failed to be elected in either.
Cornejo Bustamante was born on 26 October 1929 in the village of Cáhuil, Pichilemu, in current Cardenal Caro Province, Region of O'Higgins, Chile. His parents were Jermán Luis Cornejo Becerra and Ester Bustamante de Cornejo. He married María Soledad Cornejo Vargas (born 20 November 1963) in Rengo, Cachapoal Province, Region of O'Higgins, on 22 November 2007.
Cornejo was described in a Pichilemu News article from 2011 as "not a very literate person, but criterious, honest."
Orlando Cornejo Bustamante ran as a candidate in the 1992 municipal election, held in June of that year, representing the Union of the Centrist Center (UCC). He was elected mayor, after obtaining 634 votes (10.72%) out of 5,915. He took office on 26 September of that year, along with councilors Aldo Polanco Contreras, Raúl Tobar Pavez, Jorge Vargas González, Mario Bichón Cáceres, and Mariano Polanco Galarce. Cornejo was the first mayor of Pichilemu to be elected in democracy, after the military regime of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte ended.
