Juan Grande Román, OH (6 March 1546 – 3 June 1600) was a Spanish Catholic member of the Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God. He adopted the name of "John the Sinner" and died of the plague after tending to victims in 1600.
He was beatified in 1858 after Pope Pius IX recognized two miracles attributed to his intercession. A third allowed Pope John Paul II to canonize him in 1996.
