Príamo Pericles Tejeda Rosario (20 April 1934 – 17 May 2024) was a Dominican Roman Catholic prelate. He was auxiliary bishop of Santo Domingo and titular of Gilba from 1975 to 1986 and first bishop of Baní from 1986 to 1997.

In his pastoral government, he founded the Monastery of the Discalced Carmelites of Baní, the Diocesan Brothers of Evangelization and the Dr. Rafael A. Miranda Mother and Child Center, in front of the Luis E. Aybar hospital in the city of Santo Domingo.[1] In 2007 he was accused of sexual abuse by a 42-year-old Cuban man.[2][3]

Tejeda died in Santo Domingo on 17 May 2024, at the age of 90.[4]
