Cenobio Paniagua y Vásques (September 30, 1821, Tlalpujahua, Michoacán – November 2, 1882, Córdoba, Veracruz) was a Mexican musician and composer, who is known for both his romantic operas and his religious music.
Paniagua's first music teacher was his uncle, Eusebio Vázquez. He studied various instruments in his youth, before completing his studies in violin and becoming the Second Conductor of the Cathedral Orchestra of Mexico City. He founded a music academy in the city. Later, he lived in Havana, and after 1868, in Córdoba.
He composed several operas, including Catalina de Guisa which was the first Mexican opera seria, the oratorio Tobías, as well as seventy masses, and also produced writings on music theory.
