Luciano Maza Huamán (born 4 December 1957) is a Peruvian Catholic prelate and the metropolitan archbishop-elect of Piura. He was appointed by Pope Leo XIV on 12 December 2025[1] and is set to be installed on 21 February 2026.[2]
Maza Huamán previously served as the vicar general of the Archdiocese of Piura[1] and as a seminary educator. His appointment followed a 20-month vacancy in the archdiocese after the resignation of Archbishop José Antonio Eguren. Commentators, such as theologian Veronique Lecaros of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, noted Maza Huamán's background as a parish priest in rural communities, contrasting his pastoral approach with the leadership of the previous administration.[3]
