Ricardo Casanova y Estrada (10 November 1844 - Cantel, Quetzaltenango, 14 April 1913) was a Guatemalan catholic priest that became the eleventh Archbishop of Guatemala from 1886 to 1913. He had a relevant role opposing president general Manuel Lisandro Barillas Bercián (1885-1896), who eventually expelled Casanova y Estrada from Guatemala. After a generous amnesty granted by president general José María Reina Barrios on 13 March 1897, the archbishop returned to Guatemala and was received by large crowds and joy.
