Ignacio Trelles Campos (31 July 1916 – 24 March 2020) was a Mexican football player and manager.
Trelles was one of the dominant figures in Mexican football in the 20th century. Over a managerial career that spanned more than four decades, he coached nine clubs in the Primera División and won seven league titles, including back-to-back championships with Toluca and Cruz Azul. Trelles also served as manager of the Mexico national team at the 1962 FIFA World Cup, where the side achieved its first victory in the competition, and again at the 1966 FIFA World Cup.
Alongside Ricardo Ferretti, he is the manager with the most league titles in Mexican football. He managed 1,083 matches in Primera Division, the second-highest total of any coach in the league's history. He also holds the record for the most matches managed as coach of the national team.
