Dick Edgar Ibarra Grasso (17 January 1914 – 13 July 2000) was an Argentine researcher who explored the possibility of colonization of the Americas by several antique ethnic groups.

Ibarra Grasso based some of his assumptions on the suggestions made by Enrique de Gandía in the book "Primitivos navegantes vascos".

At the age of 26, Ibarra Grasso came to Bolivia to look for the current existence of an Andean ideographic writing that he had seen mentioned in texts by Nordenskiold, Tschudi and Wiener.

In the field work of the students of the School abundant archaeological material was obtained (textiles, stone objects, ceramics) that increased notably the collection of the Museum of the UMSS.

Ibarra Grasso founded three archaeological museums: The Universidad Mayor de San Simón awarded him the Doctorate Honoris Causa and the Bolivian State the Condor of the Andes.
