Pedro Francisco Bonó y Mejía (October 18, 1828 – September 13, 1906) was a Dominican politician, sociologist and intellectual. He is credited with being the first Dominican sociologist. He was the president of the Senate of the Dominican Republic in 1858.{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cIG7AAAAIAAJ|title=Manual del legislador Dominicano|first=Adriano Miquel|last=Tejada|date=12 May 1990|publisher=Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra}}

Bonó was born in 1828, to Joseph Bonó (a ranchman and trader of Italian origin) and Inés Mejía y Port. His maternal grandmother, Doña Eugénie Port, a native of Brittany (North-Western France) who had large plantations and fortune in the Saint-Domingue until the outbreak of the Haitian Revolution, taught him the French language and fashioned him intellectually.{{cite journal |last=GUERRERO SÁNCHEZ |first=José Guillermo |title=Bonó: Precursor de la Historia Social Dominicana |journal=Clío |date=July–December 2006 |issue=172 |pages=180, 200 |url=http://es.calameo.com/read/00053077564f90206b64e |accessdate=6 August 2014 |publisher=Academia Dominicana de la Historia |location=Santo Domingo |language=Spanish |format=pdf }}
