'''Cayetano Heredia''' ([[August 5]], [[1797]] – [[June 11]], [[1861]]) was a [[Peruvian]] [[physician]], born in [[Catacaos]], [[Piura]] ([[Peru]]). Together with [[Hipolito Unanue]] he was one of the two greatest Peruvian physicians of the 19th century. He happened to live through the tense period of the struggle for independence of Peru from [[Spain]] and his participation in political life was as intense as the time and effort he devoted to [[medicine]]. He died in [[Lima]] on 1861.
[[Cayetano Heredia University]] commemorates his name.
