Gabriela de la Caridad Azcuy Labrador (18 March 1861 – 15 March 1914) was a Cuban nurse and poet who participated in the Cuban War of Independence.
On 10 February 1896, she joined the militia of Miguel Lores near Gramales as an army medic.
The following year, General Lorente wrote that "in the heat of battle at Las Cañas, between Guane and Mantua, Mrs.
Azcuy got off of her horse to heal the wounded in such moments of peril that other doctors had already temporarily withdrawn." Azcuy was made a Captain and after the war entered politics as the Secretary of the Board of Education in Viñales.
