José Antonio Eguren Anselmi (born 14 June 1956) is a Peruvian prelate of the Catholic Church who was Archbishop of Piura from 2006 to 2024.

He spent 1982 at the Major Seminary of Medellín [es] in Colombia, and pursued specialized studies in Spirituality and Liturgy at the Pastoral Theology Institute of Episcopal Conference of Latin America (CELAM).

[citation needed] Pope Francis accepted his resignation as archbishop on 2 April 2024,[4] seven years before he reached the retirement age for Catholic prelates.

In January 2018, Peruvian journalist Pedro Salinas published articles online that compared Eguren to Bishop Juan Barros, who was then the center of the clerical sex abuse scandal in Chile.

He wrote that Eguren "knew everything" about abuse committed by the founder of SCV, Luis Fernando Figari, and accused him of participating in illegal real estate transactions.

When Salinas refused to retract several statements, Eguren sued him, submitting a criminal complaint alleging aggravated defamation in August 2018.

It asked Peruvian authorities to "ensure that the judicial system is not used to harass or discredit critical voices by imposing punishments for the peaceful exercise of the right to freedom of expression".
