Javier Juan Vicente Ramón González Olaechea Franco (born 13 December 1958) is a Peruvian political scientist and politician who served as minister of Foreign Relations in the presidency of Dina Boluarte from 2023 to 2024.
Formed in Argentina and France and of a diplomatic background stemming from his family, González Olaechea gained national profile as he confronted the body of the Organization of American States in his capacity of Peru's foreign minister in the aftermath of the contentious 2024 Venezuelan presidential election, a process that was marked by political repression from the Maduro administration against the opposition, in addition to the allegations of fraud as the results are yet to be verified.
A member of the centre-right Christian People's Party, González Olaechea announced his bid for President of Peru at the 2026 general election following his tenure as government minister.
