José María González Valencia (born in Pamplona on June 25, 1840) was a Colombian Conservative politician, lawyer, academic, diplomat, writer and educator.
He was also a professor of law at the Faculty of Jurisprudence of the Colegio Mayor del Rosario, in Bogotá, where he became rector in January 1899. In politics he held several important positions such as Senator of the Republic, State Councilor, and Colombian minister to the Holy See. He was the first Minister of Justice in the history of Colombia, since his position was created in 1890 by then-president Carlos Holguín.
