José Solís y Folch de Cardona, grande de España and knight of the Order of Santiago (4 February 1716 in Madrid – 27 April 1770 in Bogotá) was a Spanish colonial administrator and viceroy of New Granada from 24 November 1753 to 25 February 1761.

He fortified the mint, built roads, bridges and aqueducts (including that of Santa Fé de Bogotá) and established missions.

He founded the Hospital San Juan de Dios and assisted many people during an epidemic of measles.

The judge in the case was Miguel de Santisteban, whom the viceroy had considered his best friend, and who had held high positions in the viceregal government.

The judgment of the court was that Solís was guilty of 22 of the charges, all relating to fraud or mismanagement of the viceregal treasury.

The Council also praised him for the "love, fervor, effectiveness and dispatch" he had exhibited in his seven-year term of office.

After turning over the office to his successor, Pedro Messía de la Cerda, he became a monk in a Franciscan convent (25 February 1761).
