José Segundo Roca (July 1, 1800 – March 8, 1866) was an Argentine colonel. He took part in the second Upper Peru campaign,[1] and died during the War of the Triple Alliance.[2]

He was born in Tucumán, the son of Pedro Roca, born in Tarragona, and María Antonia Tejerina, a Creole from Tucumán. He was married to Josefa Agustina Paz, daughter of Juan Bautista de Paz and María Plácida Pereyra, belonging to a distinguished family. He and his wife were the parents of numerous children, including General Julio Argentino Roca, who was twice President of Argentina.[3]
