Rayo de Jalisco Jr. (Spanish: "Lightning Bolt from Jalisco Jr."; born January 1, 1960) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado (or masked professional wrestler). He is currently performing as a freelancer on the Mexican independent circuit, and is best known for his longtime association with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). A second-generation wrestler, Rayo de Jalisco Jr. is the son of Rayo de Jalisco, a famous wrestler from the early days of lucha libre; he also has a son who wrestles under the name Rayman.

Rayo de Jalisco Jr. is a two-time CMLL World Heavyweight Champion and the reigning WWA World Heavyweight Champion, a title he has held since March 21, 2003. His real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico, where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.[4]
