Jorge Huneeus Gana (10 April 1866 – 2 July 1926) was a Chilean attorney, writer, journalist, ambassador, legislative deputy, and cabinet minister.
He was the son of Jorge Huneeus Zegers and Domitila Gana Cruz, and the grandson of Jorge Huneeus Lipmann (1801–1877) and the composer Isidora Zegers. He was the brother of deputies Antonio and Francisco Huneeus Gana. He was also the nephew of Domingo Gana Cruz and Pedro Nolasco Cruz Vergara, and the great-grandson of Vicente de la Cruz y Bahamonde.
He was married to Elena Lavín Recasens and had five children with her: Elena, Jorge, Berta, Sergio Luis, and Gabriela.
He was admitted to the College of Ballacey in 1872 and remained there for two years. In 1874 he began his secondary studies at the College of the French Fathers in Santiago. He finished his schooling in 1883, at age 17.
In 1884 he enrolled at the University of Chile to study law, and was admitted to the bar on 9 April 1888, at age 22.
In 1886, while still a college student, Jorge Huneeus Gana taught literature and history at the Chilean Army War Academy. In 1887 he taught history and law classes there.
The following are highlights of his written works:
The arts were Huneeus Gana's great devotion, especially music, painting, and poetry. He was a significant collector of paintings. As a journalist he collaborated on two newspapers, La Patria de Valparaíso (a daily published from 1 August 1863 to 1896) and La Ley (which he edited from its foundation on 10 June 1884, under the pseudonym "Suaviter in modo"). During the Revolution of 1891 he was editor of the Official Bulletin of the Government Junta.
He served as secretary of legal letters of Santiago in 1889 and as director of the Bulletin of Acts and Decrees of the Supreme Government in 1889.
