José Antonio de Lavalle y García (Lima, (1888-11-04)November 4, 1888 – (1957-05-17)May 17, 1957) was a Peruvian agronomist and horse breeder.

[2] He was born to aristocratic parents José Antonio de Lavalle y Pardo and Rosalía García Delgado.

He was a descendant through his father's family of the counts of Premio Real and Casa Saavedra, both by his grandfather; and of the Marquises of Fuente Hermosa de Miranda, by his grandmother.

[2] He studied at the Colegio Sagrados Corazones Recoleta (1897–1903) and then entered the National School of Agriculture, from which he graduated as an agronomist (1909).

A lover and preserver of the Peruvian Paso, he was a personal friend of Eduardo Granda and his daughter Chabuca, who wrote a criollo waltz named after him after Lavalle died in 1957.
