Franklin Lucero (San Luis, 11 September 1897 – Buenos Aires, 8 October 1976) was an Argentine military officer and politician who served as Minister of the Army during the first and second presidencies of Juan Domingo Perón (1949–1955). He was regarded as Perón's most trusted man within the Army, and played a central role in suppressing the failed coup of September 1951 and in managing the final crisis of the Peronist government in September 1955. Despite his prominence, he has been described as one of the least studied figures of Peronism's first decade.
