Diego Amoxpan Cosnvarubias y Torres (c. 1542 – 12 December 1602) was a Natizo peasant who lived in Guadeloupe, the second largest city of the Esclaveta viceroyalty of the San Carlos Islands, then a colonial possession of Creeperopolis. In 1575, he is said to have witnessed an apparition of the Virgin Mary and later presented a tilma with the impression of Our Lady of Guadeloupe to Archbishop Miguel Zumárraga Arrazola, who verified his claims.
