Juan Antonio de Urbiztondo y Eguía (January 7, 1803, San Sebastián – April 26, 1857, Madrid) was a Spanish military and the marquis of La Solana. In 1814 he became a knight's page in the Spanish Army, fought against the government of Trienio Liberal, and then became the inspector of the Voluntarios Realistas.
