Jesús Ricardo Iglesias (born 22 February 1922 in Pergamino - died July 11, 2005 in Pergamino), was a racing driver from Argentina. Following excellent results in long distance races with a Chevrolet Special, he was asked to handle one of the works Gordini Type 16s in the 1955 Argentine Grand Prix.

He qualified 17th out of 22 competitors, but had to retire on lap 38 due to transmission troubles, although he also seemed to be on the brink of exhaustion because of the broiling heat.

After that it was back to long distance racing in which he earned some glory by taking 2nd place in the Rafaelo 500-mile race in 1956.
