Otilia Lux de Cotí is a Guatemalan social leader and politician.

She was a member of that country's Historical Clarification Commission, charged with investigating the human rights violations committed during the Central American nation's 30-year-long civil war. She was later chosen to serve as Minister of Culture and Sport in the cabinet of President Alfonso Portillo. She was a member of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues at the United Nations, and she served on UNESCO's Executive Board for the 2004–2007 period.

In the 9 September 2007 general election, she was elected to Congress as a national list deputy for the Encuentro por Guatemala party.[1]
