(June 6, 1804 – November 2, 1875) was a Californio Roman Catholic friar, known best for his long tenure as Chief Administrator of Mission Santa Barbara, in Southern California.

Upon completing his primary education, González Rubio studied at the Seminario Conciliar of Guadalajara.

He began his novitiate and was accepted into the Order on January 10, 1825, with the religious name "José María de Jesús" and the title of Fray (Friar).

During the dispute, the United States annexed California as a result of the Mexican American War.

Having lived long enough to become the oldest survivor of the early California missionaries, he died on November 2, 1875, at Mission Santa Barbara, where he is interred.
