Hugo Blanco Galdos (born November 15, 1934 in Cuzco) is a Peruvian political figure, leader of the Confederación Campesina del Perú (CCP, Campesino Confederation of Peru), leader of Trotsky's Fourth International and a writer.

When Blanco was a child he heard that a landowner applied a redhot iron on an indigenous man. When he was 10 he met an indigenous leader who told him the story of his struggles. He involved himself in school strikes against Odria, which the students won. At age 20 he traveled to Buenos Aires and began studying in the university. There he joined a workers' party after he met Argentinian Trotskyists. Without finishing his agronomical studies in Argentina’s Universidad de la Plata he became a worker in a factory because he did not want to work for the landowners. He worked on a coffee plantation as a subtenant farmer.

Returning to Peru he joined the Revolutionary Workers Party (POR) in Lima and participated in the famous protest to the then Vice-President of the United States, Richard Nixon, in 1958 . Following those demonstrations, Blanco caught the attention of the police, and decided to move to his home region in the Convencion Valley. Here he took residence in 1958 as a subtenant farmer, immersing himself in local politics. Beginning in 1958, with the help of students from the Cuzco University, Blanco’s Quechua federation mobilized the allegados against the hacendados and arrendires.
