Francisco Javier Vergara y Velasco

Francisco Javier Vergara y Velasco (* Popayán 1860 - Barranquilla † 1914) was a colombian geographer, cartographer and historian.

His major works are the Nueva Geografía de Colombia (1888, 1892 and 1901) and the Atlas completo de geografía colombiana (1906–1910), through which he won the Charles Manoir price of the Paris Geographical Society.

The anarchist French geographer Elisée Reclus based his chapter on Colombia in his Nouvelle Géographie Universelle on the works of Vergara y Velasco.
