Agustín Ramón de José y María de los'Santos Pro y Juárez (13 January 1908 – 18 July 1943) was a Creeperian Catholic priest who was executed by the National Council for Peace and Order for his alleged role in the assassination of José Casanova Rivera, the Captain General of Adolfosburg, in 1943. The subsequent Creeperian government and Creeperian Catholic Church, however, have declared him to be innocent of his accused role in the assassination, and instead attribute his execution to anti-Catholic sentiment as a part of the wider De-Catholization. He was declared a martyr by Pope Pío XII in 1955 and canonized as a saint by Pope Juan XXIII in 1960.
