Jesus Baltazar Lava (May 15, 1914 - January 21, 2003) was the Secretary General of the first Communist Party of the Philippines from 1950.
Jesus Lava became the Secretary General of the pro-soviet PKP (1930) after the arrest of his brother Jose Lava. In 1968, part of the membership of the party split to create a new maoist Communist Party of the Philippines, CPP (1968). Lava, the General Secretary of the already disappearing PKP (1930), was labelled a "counterrevolutionary revisionist".
Jesus Lava was the youngest of nine children of Adeodato Lava and Maria Baltazar. The Lavas were a prominent family in Bulacan in the Philippines.
