Cirilo Villaverde de la Paz (1812 - 1894) was a Cuban poet, novelist, journalist and freedom fighter. He is best known for Cecilia Valdés, a novel about classes and races in colonial Cuba.

When the poet Miguel Teurbe Tolón's wife, sewed the first flag of Cuba,[1] Villaverde helped settle upon the final design: two white stripes, three blue, a red triangle, and a lone star.
