Juan Rodríguez Juárez (b. 1675 - d. 1728) was an artist in the Viceroyalty of New Spain. His brother Nicolás, was also a famous contemporary artist in the Spanish colony.

Juan Rodríguez Juárez was a member of a Spanish family long noted for their accomplishments in the world of painting. His brother was Nicolás Rodríguez Juárez (1667 - 1734) was like himself, an established painter in New Spain. He was the son of Antonio Rodríguez (1636–91), a notable Spanish painter. His maternal grandfather José Juárez (1617 - 1661) and maternal great great grandfather Luis Juárez (1585 - 1639) were also notable painters in Spanish history and prominent in the Baroque era.

Juan Rodríguez Juárez, like many artists in New Spain during the late Baroque period, followed the trend of painting portraits of the local nobility. These works followed European models, with symbols of rank and titles either displayed unattached in the outer portions or worked into another element of the paintings such as curtains.
