José María García Lahiguera (9 March 1903 – 14 July 1989) was a Spanish Roman Catholic who served as the Archbishop of Valencia from 1969 until his resignation came into effect in 1978.

He formed groups of men and women of Catholic Action to treat the ill and those in the prisons, and placed an emphasis on the distribution of the Eucharist.

He established the Oblate Sisters of Christ the Priest, which Pope Pius XII provided papal approval for in 1950.

He was appointed as the Archbishop of Valencia in 1969 and focused on conciliar renewal and took care of the liturgical reform the council implemented.

He was proclaimed to be Venerable on 27 June 2011 when Pope Benedict XVI approved the fact that he lived a virtuous life.
