José Jesús Castro Montaño (October 14, 1905 – March 15, 1976) was a Mexican soldier of the Cristero War. He is noted for sheltering himself, and other soldiers, inside the bell tower of the chapel of La Purísima from the federal troops after a battle that occurred in Cocula, Jalisco. The federal troops who were offering a deal of money in exchange for armistice, actually executed several of the cristeros who came down to accept the supposed agreement.
