Rigoberto Cruz (died August 1967) was a Nicaraguan revolutionary who was one of the founders of the Sandinista National Liberation Front in 1961. Cruz, who is better known by his pseudonym Pablo Ubeda,[1] is one of the early martyrs of the Sandinista revolution. He was killed in San Carlos after the battle of Pancasán in August 1967 in one of FSLN's historical defeats.[2]

Rigoberto Cruz is best known by his alias "Pablo Ubeda". He was also nicknamed "El cadejo de Las Segovias" as he was considered a master of disguise. During the insurrection, the North-Eastern Front was named "Frente Nor-Oriental Pablo Ubeda". After the Sandinista triumph in 1979, the special troops of the Ministry of Interior were also named after "Pablo Ubeda".
