Refugio Reyes Rivas (Sauceda de la Borda, Zacatecas, September 3, 1862 - Aguascalientes (Aguascalientes), Mexico, February 2, 1943), was an architect born in Zacatecas. His most representative buildings are located on the capital city of Aguascalientes, where his works are considered as part of the historic and architectonic heritage. During his life he was best known as ‘Don Cuco’, and because he had no college studies on architecture, some sources refer to him as an empiric or self-tought architect, however, the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes gave to him a post mortem college degree on architecture on the year 1985.

Some of the most representative buildings of Refugio Reyes are San Antonio Church, Aguascalientes Museum, La Purísima Church, Guadalupe Church, the Thermal Baths of Ojocaliente, Hotel Francia (nowadays a shop of Grupo Sanborns), among others.
