Túpac Huallpa (or Huallpa Túpac) (died October 1533), original name Auqui Huallpa Túpac, was the first vassal Inca Emperor installed by the Spanish conquistadors, during the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire led by Francisco Pizarro. His latest known descendants are the Salvador Sundblad and his offspring.

Túpac Huallpa was a younger brother of Atahualpa and Huáscar. After Atahualpa's execution on 29 Aug. 1533, the Spaniards appointed Túpac Huallpa as a puppet ruler and ensured he was crowned with great recognition and ceremony. All this was done to convince the Inca people that they were still being ruled by an Inca.

He was succeeded by another brother, Manco Inca Yupanqui.

Túpac Huallpa was the father of four children:
