Justo Pastor Lynch (1755-1830), an Argentine Landowner, he was born in Buenos Aires on the family "estancia", a ranch by the River de la Plata. He was a direct descendant from the Irish-Argentine linage of the Lynch of Callaway. At times is name was recorded as Pastorin or Pastorino Lynch perhaps in reference to the large lands owned dedicated to keep horses.

His fortune was one of the largest of the region, properties and business he received from his family, in addition he married the Spanish heiress Ana Bernardo Roo (d.1836), whom dobled the extension and value of his properties; consequently his 3 sons enjoyed a wealthy live like no other Irish immigrants in the region.

His eldest son Estanislao J.A. Lynch fought in the Argentine independence war with the grade of colonel. On 2 January 1817 the Buenos Aires city council appointed Estanislao Lynch as the major of Barracas; while at the same time, his grand-father Patrick Lynch (b.1715) was a member of the city council. Estanislao Lynch eventually settled in Chile and married Carmen Solo de Zaldívar y Rivero, opening the linage of the Lynches in Chile.
