João Cândido Felisberto (24 June 1880 – 6 December 1969) was a Brazilian sailor, best known as the leader of the 1910 "Revolt of the Lash".

Felisberto arrived there in September 1909 and left in January 1910 as part of the crew of the newly commissioned Minas Geraes.

The sailors had many secret meetings in Rio de Janeiro, planning a strategy to stop the corporal punishment still imposed in the new Navy, which had received two new modern battleships in 1910.In November 1910, the flogging of a sailor, against Navy regulations (250 strokes instead of the allowed 25 strokes), was a contributing factor to the revolt, known in Brazil as "Revolta da Chibata" ("Revolt of the Lash").

Sailors took control of two Brazilian battleships, Minas Geraes and São Paulo, both built in England, as well as two other major warships.

Their demands included the abolition of torture as a form of punishment and improved living conditions in the Brazilian Navy.

In 1938 an integralist uprising was easily crushed by the Brazilian military, with fewer than twenty deaths, and the group was outlawed.With Brazil at war with the fascist Axis powers from 1942 onwards, integralism became a small and powerless movement.
