Saint Miguel Febres Cordero (Francisco Luis Febres-Cordero y Muñoz) (†1910), known as Brother Miguel, was an Ecuadorian Roman Catholic religious brother. He became a professed member of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, colloquially known as the La Salle Brothers. He assumed the name Miguel upon his admittance into the order. He resided in his native home of Ecuador for almost four decades, where he promoted education and evangelization before he relocated to Spain, where he continued to perform his duties for his order. He also became a prolific writer and penned various manuals and odes, amongst other publications. Pope Paul VI beatified him in 1977, and Pope John Paul II canonized him on 21 October 1984 as the first male Ecuadorian saint. He remains a national hero in his native land, and his tomb has become a pilgrimage site. His liturgical feast is celebrated on 9 February.
