(born 30 October 1956) is an Argentinian Catholic friar of the Order of Preachers who has served as the Archbishop of Bahia Blanca since 2015.

[2] As a child, Azpiroz was enrolled at the Colegio Champagnat de Buenos Aires, run by the Marist Brothers, where he completed both his elementary education and his secondary, graduating in 1974.

[2] On 1 March 1980, Azpiroz was admitted to the novitiate of the Dominican Province located at the Priory of St. Martin de Porres, in Mar del Plata.

After completing this initial stage of his formation in the Order, he professed temporary religious vows as a friar on 28 February 1981.

During this period, he was permitted to take one final exam at the university, by which he earned his law degree from UCA, after which he went on to do his philosophy studies.

I remember the faces of Christian families badly wounded at Bahawalpur (Pakistan 2001), the neighbors of our sisters in the poorest barrios of Kinshasa (Congo), the children following us in Cameroon, in the Civil War Square in Campodos (Tibú), Colombia, families fishing from the canoes off Gizo in the Solomon Islands or in the Urubamba River in the Peruvian Amazon.

[5] On 3 November 2015, Pope Francis appointed Azpiroz the Archbishop coadjutor of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bahia Blanca.
