José Ángel Navarro (elder)

José Ángel Navarro (1784–1836), known as José Ángel Navarro (the elder), was born in San Antonio de Béxar and became a soldier under Spanish Texas. He was the son of Ángel Navarro, a brother to Texas statesman José Antonio Navarro, and an uncle to Texas legislator José Ángel Navarro III.

Navarro was two-term alcalde (mayor) of San Antonio in Spanish Texas. As alcalde, he was one of the seven community leaders to sign the December 19, 1832, Béxar Remonstrance, a petition to the Mexican government regarding what they felt was "the historic neglect of San Antonio in particular and Texas in general".

He died June 13, 1836, at his home.
