Juan de Garay Otáñez y Rada, 1st Marquis of Villarrubia de Langre (1761–1825), was a Spanish military officer.

In 1641, King Philip IV appointed him maestre de campo general and governor of Arms of Extremadura, and commissioning him to assess the state of the fortifications in Navarre and Guipúzcoa.

On his arrival at Badajoz, he was sidelined by the capitán general, Manuel de Acevedo y Zúñiga, Count of Monterrey, and also had conflicts with other military commanders, such as the 1st Marquis of Rivas, José Ramírez de Saavedra y Ulloa, and the Count of Torrejón, leading him to resign in March 1644. In July 1645 he was appointed Captain general of Guipúzcoa and general lieutenant to the Viceroy of Navarre, Duarte Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, 7th count of Oropesa.
