Yonhy Lescano Ancieta (born 15 February 1959) is a Peruvian lawyer and politician belonging to the Popular Action party.

In 2018, he disagreed with the final report of the Lava Jato Commission, chaired by Rosa Bartra (known for having politically shielded Alan García and not including him in the document), Lescano argued that the report could not be trusted, in as the members of the commission's board of directors "were judge and party," members of APRA and Fuerza Popular, whose leaders were under investigation in the Lava Jato case.

For the 2021 general election, Lescano won the presidential nomination of his party for the Presidency of Peru after defeating former Congressman Edmundo del Águila and Luis Enrique Gálvez with 63.67% of the vote.

He disavowed Vizcarra's removal and Merino's role, siding with Cajamarca Governor Mesías Guevara in not approving his party's congressional caucus' decision.

[18] He opposed several times to the decisions of his party, as when Congress was dissolved in 2019, he supported Martín Vizcarra's measure and did not attend to the inauguration of Vice President Mercedes Araoz.

[17] After his complaint against former congressman Mauricio Mulder, in March 2019 Lescano was denounced by a journalist for sexual harassment due to WhatsApp chats.

[25][26] In the book Handwritten, autobiography written by Abimael Guzmán, prison leader of the terrorist group, there is thanks to Lescano for his "worthy services".
