Jorge Julio López (Latin American Spanish: [ˈlopes]; born 1929) is an Argentine retired bricklayer who was kidnapped during the National Reorganization Process, and disappeared again during the democratic government of Néstor Kirchner after testifying in trial against dictatorship criminal Miguel Etchecolatz.

López was kidnapped and taken to different clandestine detention centres during the dictatorship known as National Reorganization Process (1976–1983). He was subject to torture and remained detained without formal charges or trial from 21 October 1976 until 25 June 1979.
