Juan Bautista Benlloch i Vivó (Valencia, December 29, 1864 – Madrid, February 14, 1926) was a Spanish archbishop and cardinal. He held the positions of Apostolic Administrator of Solsona (1901–1906), Bishop of Urgell and Co-Prince of Andorra (1906–1919), and Archbishop of Burgos (1919–1926). He was elevated to the cardinalate in 1921 and, as Co-Prince of Andorra, composed the text for "El Gran Carlemany", that country's national anthem.
