Juan García López-Rico (10 July 1561 – 14 February 1613), known as John Baptist of the Conception, was a Spanish Roman Catholic priest from the Trinitarian Order who would establish a branch of his order which he named the Order of Discalced Trinitarians.
He made it his mission to renew his order and he became known as a great reformer of the aims and structure of his order which he had applied to the new one that he established. He was also a prolific writer on theological matters.
He was beatified in 1819 and was canonized in 1975.
