Nachi Cocom (? - 1562), known to Spanish conquistadors as Juan Cocom , was a halach uinik (Mayan theocratic leader) of the Sotuta kuchkabal in modern day Yucatán, Mexico, and a descendant of the Cocom lineage that in previous centuries had led the League of Mayapan. He is notable for organizing armed resistance to the Spanish conquistadors under Francisco de Montejo the Younger, but was defeated in a battle at the ruins of T’ho in the center of modern day Mérida, Yucatán on June 10–11, 1542.{{Cite book |last=Eligio Ancona |url=http://archive.org/details/historiadeyucat05ancogoog |title=Historia de Yucatan: Desde la època más remota hasta nuestros dias |date=1878 |publisher=Impr. de M.
