Ricardo Casanova y Estrada " The Great" (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 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.
