José Antonio Delgado Sucre (13 May 1965 – 22 July 2006) was the first Venezuelan mountaineer to reach the summit of five eight-thousanders and one of the most experienced climbers in Latin America.

Known as el indio ("The Indian", for his strength), Delgado led the first Venezuelan Everest expedition in 2001.

He studied mechanical engineering at the Universidad Simón Bolívar and married Frida Ayala with whom he had two children.

After he reached the summit of Nanga Parbat on July 11, a snow storm surprised him on his descent.

On July 22, they found Delgado's body at an altitude of 7100m between camp three and four in the open near his tent.
