Manuel Arteaga y Betancourt (December 28, 1879 – March 20, 1963) was a Cuban prelate of the Catholic Church who served as Archbishop of Havana from 1941 to 1963.

Arteaga obtained his bachelor's in philosophy on June 15, 1898, from Universidad Central de Venezuela, and entered a Capuchin convent in Caracas in 1900.

For reasons of health, he left the convent and entered the Seminary of Santa Rosa de Lima in Caracas on April 12, 1901.

Arteaga suffered a wound to his forehead in August 1953, reported by the censored press as the result of a fall in his residence, and required twenty stitches.

[1] In a pastoral letter that September, he explained that his injury was "a common criminal attempt" by a group of strangers, putting to rest the suspicions that he had been pistol-whipped by government agents who were searching his residence for hidden revolutionaries or weapons.
