José G. Saucedo Mendoza (December 5, 1924 – August 7, 1998) was a Mexican Anglican bishop from 1958 to 1998.

He was the first bishop of Cuernavaca. He was the first archbishop of the Anglican Church of Mexico, serving from 1995 until his death in 1998. Under his episcopacy spanning four decades the Anglican Church of Mexico grew from one missionary diocese to five dioceses that formed an independent member of the worldwide Anglican Communion in 1995. As a promoter of access to the priesthood by women, he arranged for the ordination of the first female priest in Latin America.[1] He attended the Episcopal Church's Virginia Theological Seminary, at Alexandria, Virginia.[2][3] He was consecrated bishop in 1958 at XVII century church of San Jose de Gracia, Mexico City.[4]
