Manuel Bartolomé Ferreyros de la Mata (August 24, 1793 — September 24, 1872) was a Peruvian politician, diplomat and writer. He was three times Minister of Foreign Affairs in various governments (1835, 1839–1841 and 1849–1851) and twice Minister of Finance (1838 and 1839–1841). He was also entrusted with numerous diplomatic posts. A prominent internationalist, he presided over the first American Congress that met in Lima, in 1847–1848, during the first government of Ramón Castilla. He was also a deputy in various Constituent Congresses of the Republic: that of 1822 (of which he was secretary); that of 1839 (of which he was president) and that of 1860.
