Carlos María de la Torre y Navacerrada (27 February 1809 – 2 December 1879) was a Spanish soldier and politician.

A Carlist army officer, he was sent from Spain by Francisco Serrano after the ouster of Queen Isabel II as a result of the La Gloriosa revolution.

[3] He established the Guardia Civil in the Philippines and gave amnesty to rebels,[4] of which the most prominent was Casimiro Camerino (El tulisán), the leader of bandits in Cavite.

Among the demonstrators were José Icaza, Jácobo Zobel, Ignacio Rocha, Manuel Genato, and Máximo Paterno.

In November 1870, a student movement, denounced as a riot or motín, at the University of Santo Tomas formed a committee to demand reforms on the school and its curricula.
