Juan de Prado, OFM (c. 1563 – 24 May 1631) was a Spanish Roman Catholic priest and a professed member from the Order of Friars Minor.

He served as part of the missions in Muslim Morocco at the request of Pope Urban VIII and brought much solace to the small Christian population there before the ruler had him murdered.

He and two companions departed on November 27 from Cadiz and arrived for the mission in Marrakesh,[2] where he evangelized and provided comfort to the faithful there while also administering the sacraments to them.

[3] The Sultan ordered that de Prado be burnt to death,[1] but as he continued to exhort the executioners to follow Christ, one of them became impatient and smashed his head with a stone.

On 24 May 1728 Pope Benedict XIII confirmed that de Prado had been killed in odium fidei ("in hatred of the faith"), thus permitting his beatification.
