Ignace de Loyola , né en 1491 à Loiola et mort le 31 juillet 1556 à Rome, est un prêtre et théologien basque-espagnol, fondateur et premier Supérieur général de la Compagnie de Jésus — en latin abrégé « SJ » pour Societas Jesu — congrégation catholique reconnue par le pape Paul III en 1540 et qui prit une importance considérable dans la réaction de l'Église catholique romaine aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles, face à l'ébranlement causé par la réforme protestante.
Auteur des Exercices spirituels, il fut un remarquable directeur de conscience. La spiritualité ignacienne est l'une des principales sources d'introspection religieuse et de discernement vocationnel dans le catholicisme. À la tête des jésuites, il devint un ardent promoteur de la réforme tridentine, aussi appelée Contre-Réforme. Il orienta sa congrégation vers l'œuvre missionnaire, en particulier vers les Indes orientales, l'Afrique et les colonies espagnoles d'Amérique du Sud.
Canonisé par le pape Grégoire XV le 12 mars 1622, Ignace de Loyola est liturgiquement commémoré le 31 juillet.
