José Lucas Chaparro Vizcarra (Cuzco; — ) was a Peruvian politician.

Biography Born in Cuzco, he was a member of the National Convention representing Urubamba Province between 1855 and 1857 which, during the second government of Ramón Castilla, drafted the Constitution of 1856, the sixth that governed the country.

In 1863 he held the position of subprefect of Paruro Province. He was elected member of the Constituent Congress of 1867 for the province of Paruro during the government of Mariano Ignacio Prado. This congress issued the Political Constitution of 1867, the eighth that governed the country, and which was only valid for five months: from August 1867 to January 1868.

Chaparro would be a conspicuous Pierolist leader in the region and leader of the Montoneras organised in the department of Cuzco. He actively participated in both the takeover of his hometown, alongside his children, and the expulsion of the city's prefect, Pedro Mas, during the civil war of 1894 and 1895 in which he, together with David Samanez Ocampo, led the Pierolist side.
