Gutierre de Vargas Carvajal (1506–1559) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Plasencia (1524–1559).^[1]

Gutierre de Vargas Carvajal born in Madrid in 1506.^[1] On 25 May 1524, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Clement VII as Bishop of Plasencia.^[1] He was a great builder of churches, organizer of ecclesiastical administration, and a patron of the arts. He financed a maritime expedition crossing the Straits of Magellan, and his intended purpose was to colonize and evangelize Patagonia. He served as Bishop of Plasencia until his death on 27 April 1559.^[1] He died in Jaraicejo (province of Cáceres), but was buried in Madrid. Gutierre was more fond of the mundane and military life than the religious life, which led him to constant conflicts with his cathedral part. According to F. J. García Mogollón, Gutierre spent some of his life "in the midst of great moral laxity, and we even know that he had a love affair with Magdalena de Mendoza, a lady from Toledo related to the Marquises of Almazán, who was the niece of Canon Carlos de Mendoza, Count of Castro, also a person of dissolute life." From that relationship, Gutierre gave birth to Francisco de Vargas y Mendoza, who was recognized as the son of Bishop Vargas Carvajal by King Philip II in 1561. While bishop, he was the principal co-consecrator of Fernando Valdés, Bishop of Elne (1529).^[1]
