Julio César Cáceres López (born October 5, 1979 in San José de los Arroyos) is a Paraguayan football defender. He has 28 caps and 4 goals for Paraguay, and played in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. His international debut came in April 2002 against England.

Cáceres first club was Olimpia Asunción, where he became Paraguayan champion in 1999 and 2000, and won the Copa Libertadores in 2002 and the Recopa Sudamericana in 2003. He was bought by FC Nantes in 2004. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury and could not play for several months. After recovering, Nantes had already a new coach that did not give Cáceres a place in the first team. Because of that, he was loaned to Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro for the 2005/06 season. At the start of the 2006 season, he got the attetion of River Plate, one of the biggest clubs in Argentina, where he moved on loan from FC Nantes and inmediately became a key player and even the squad captain.

Cáceres again competed in the FIFA World Cup in 2006 and was the most solid defender in the Paraguayan defense. He is expected to take charge of the leading role in the defense now that veteran Carlos Gamarra announced his retirement from the national team.
