Joan Lluhí i Vallescà (Spanish: Juan Lluhí Vallescá; 12 October 1897 – 21 August 1944) was a Spanish lawyer and politician. He was a member of the Republican Left in Catalonia, and served in the Second Spanish Republic as Minister of Labor, Health and Social Assurance.
Joan Lluhí i Vallesca was born on 12 October 1897 in Barcelona. His father was Joaquim Lluhí i Rissech (1866–1926), a lawyer and founder of the Nationalist Republican Center and the Federal Union of Nationalist Republicans. Joan Lluhí i Vallescà attended the Institute of Barcelona from 1910 to 1915 for his secondary education. He studied law at the University of Barcelona from 1915 to 1916 and then from 1919 to 1920. He became a lawyer and a Freemason. In 1929 he founded and edited the journal L'Opinió.
Lluhí was a founding member of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (Republican Left of Catalonia). He was elected deputy to the national legislature on 28 June 1931 for Barcelona. Lluhí was also elected a member of the Catalan parliament. He participated in drafting the 1932 Statute of Núria for Catalonian autonomy. He was Director of Public Works in the government of the Generalitat of Catalonia initiated on 3 October 1932. From 19 December 1932 he was also President of the Executive Council of the Generalitat. He resigned in January 1933 because he could not agree with President Francesc Macià over the distribution of powers between the Executive Council and the President.
Lluhí was not included in the government initiated on 24 January 1933. He left the Esquerra Republicana in October 1933 to found the Partit Nacionalista Republicà d’Esquerra, with the old followers of L'Opinió. He later led this group back into the Esquerra. He was appointed Director of Justice on 3 January 1934 in the first government of Lluís Companys. He was suspended from the government after the attempted revolution that followed the Asturian miners' strike of 1934. Lluhí was convicted for his participation in the events of October 1934 and on 6 June 1935 was disqualified from the legislature and sentenced to 30 years imprisonment. He served time in El Puerto de Santa María.
