Ignacio Luis Arcaya Rivero (Santa Ana de Coro, 3 May 1912 - Caracas, 4 September 1990[2]), was a Venezuelan lawyer and politician. He was one of the signatories of the Punto Fijo Pact for his party, the Democratic Republican Union (URD).
He was Minister of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela 1959-1960, and in that capacity took part in the 7th Organization of American States conference on 16 August 1960, where against his President's wishes he abstained on the issue of Cuban relations with the Organization of American States. He was President of the Venezuelan Chamber of Deputies, and became a Supreme Court of Venezuela judge in 1965.[2][3]
Ignacio Luis Arcaya had a son, Ignacio Arcaya (1939), who went on to become a career diplomat.[4] In 2001 the National Assembly of Venezuela created an "Order of Merit Ignacio Luis Arcaya".[2]
