Juan Landázuri Ricketts, OFM (born Guillermo Eduardo Landázuri Ricketts; December 19, 1913 – January 16, 1997) was Peruvian Catholic prelate who served as Archbishop of Lima from 1955 to 1989. He was one of the most prominent Catholic bishops during the 1960s and 1970s in Latin America. He was a member of the Order of Friars Minor.
This was a period in which the Church took a strong stance against human rights abuses by numerous military juntas; it also expressed a preference for the poor and concerns about extreme poverty and wealth inequality. Before he turned 80 on December 19, 1993, Juan Landázuri Ricketts was the last cardinal elevated by Pope John XXIII to retain voting rights in a papal conclave.
