Manuel Antonio Dorta-Duque (June 27, 1896, Matanzas – July 6, 1964, Havana) was a Cuban politician, lawyer, writer, university professor, and signator of the 1940 Constitution of Cuba. He was National Chief of the Order of Knights of Columbus and Rector of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences in Havana. He was named Defender of the Catholic Faith in Cuba, and on July 27, 1950 Pope Pius XII granted him the Pro-Ecclesia et Pontiff distinction for his efforts. He was a benefactor and generous donor to the Catholic Church, and helped build the Iglesia Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, dedicated to the Virgen from the Island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, where his ancestral roots can be found. In 2008, this cathedral was named a UNESCO World Heritage site.
