Grégorio Juan Esperón (known in different sources as Iván Esperón or Gregorio Esperón) (born August 15, 1912 in Buenos Aires- died September 30, 2000 in Buenos Aires) was an Argentine professional football player and coach.
He was a very good right back, probably, the best defensive player in the history of Platense. In 1938, he refused a transfer to a bigger club, because he did not want his team, Platense, to be weakened. As a player, at the end of his career, he played 7 games for A.S. Roma in the Serie A in the 1946/47 season, where he also coached the youth teams.
Between 1940 and 1942, he played 10 games for the Argentine national team, scoring one goal against Uruguay. In 1941, he was part of the national team that won the Copa América (Campeonato Sudamericano). He also coached the national team of Ecuador.
