Antonio de Valdivieso (born 1495 died 26 Feb 1549) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Nicaragua (1544–1549).
Biography※
Antonio de Valdivieso was ordained a priest in the Order of Preachers. On 29 Feb 1544, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Paul III as Bishop of Nicaragua. On 8 Nov 1544, he was consecrated bishop by Bartolomé de las Casas, with Francisco Marroquín Hurtado, Bishop of Santiago de Guatemala, and Cristóbal de Pedraza, Bishop of Comayagua, serving as co-consecrators. As he was very concerned for the wellbeing of the Indians and the abuses practiced under the encomienda system, "he attracted the ire of the governor," who libeled his character in Granada.> Hernando de Contreras, the son of the governor, roused an angry mob, went to Valdivieso's home, and subsequently stabbed the Valdivieso to death on 26 Feb 1549.
