Claudio Mamerto Cuenca (30 October 1812 – 3 February 1852) was an Argentine physician and poet.
The Spanish mercenary José Pons Ojeda (who called himself "León de Palleja"), a member of the Grand Army of General Justo José de Urquiza who fought Juan Manuel de Rosas in the Platine War in 1852, killed him because Cuenca wanted to protect the wounded in his field hospital, immediately after the Battle of Caseros.
