Juan Coronel (1569 in Spain – 1651 at Mérida, Mexico) was a Spanish Franciscan missionary.
He made his academic studies at the University of Alcalá de Henares, and joined the Franciscans of the province of Castile.
He was sent to Yucatán, Mexico, in 1590, and there so familiarized himself with the Maya language that he was able to teach it, the historian Diego López de Cogolludo being one of his pupils.
Coronel was one of the foremost Christian teachers in Yucatán in the seventeenth century.
His austerity impeded his election to the office of Provincial of the Franciscan Order in Yucatán.
