Luz Banzon-Magsaysay (1915-2004) was the wife of Philippine President Ramon Magsaysay and was the seventh First Lady of the Philippines.

The Magsaysays had three children: Teresita Magsaysay (b. 1934), Milagros "Mila" Banzon Magsaysay (b. 1936) and Ramon "Jun" Banzon Magsaysay, Jr. (b. 1938)

As First Lady, Magsaysay was active in many socio-civic programs especially with the Philippine National Red Cross where she was honorary chairwoman for several years. She Magsaysay is remembered as one of the most admired First Ladies and distinguished herself for her warmth and simplicity. A native of Balanga, Bataan, Magsaysay was devoted to her family, relatives and friends and worked for the uplift of the Filipino people.

Magsaysay was widowed at 41 years old when President Magsaysay died during a tragic airplane crash in 1957, three years and two months into his presidency.
