José Maria de Santo Agostinho, born Miguel Boaventura Lucena (died 22 October 1912), was a Brazilian religious leader from the state of Santa Catarina. He was the third of three monks named João Maria who appeared in turn in southern Brazil, preaching and healing with herbs. He was the original leader of the peasants in the unsuccessful Contestado War (1912–16), and was killed in one of the first encounters with government troops.
