Luis de la Puente Uceda (April 1, 1926 Santiago de Chuco, Peru - October 23, 1965) was a Peruvian activist, politician, land reformer, and guerrilla who protested against the political coexistence and coalition between his party, American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA), and the conservative forces who supported the second government of Manuel Prado Ugarteche (1956-1962), and helped pioneer land reform in Peru.
