Juan de Galavís y Mendez, OPraem (29 January 1683 – 14 November 1739) was a Spanish Premonstratensian canon regular and a prelate of the Catholic Church in what is now the Dominican Republic and Colombia.
He remained in Santo Domingo until 1737, when he was selected to be the next Archbishop of Santafé en Nueva Granada.
His nephew, Pedro's son, Eustaquio Galavís y Hurtado, also became Mayor of Bogotá, serving two nonconsecutive terms in the 1780s and 1790s.
He made his final vows as a Premonstratensian priest in 1723, also called the Norbertines, and became a canon regular.
