Francisco Cabral (born in the Diocese of Guarda, Portugal, 1529; died at Goa, 1609) was a Portuguese Jesuit missionary in Japan.
In 1554 he entered the Society of Jesus, and after his studies went to Japan, where he laboured strenuously to propagate the Christian religion. There he enjoyed the friendship of highly placed people, many of whom he converted.
He filled important official places in his order, being superior of Japan for twelve years, master of novices, and rector of the Saint Paul's College, Goa, and finally visitor to Portuguese India. He died with a great reputation for prudence and holiness.
