Nicolás Capistrano y Fernández (January 7, 1864 – unknown) was a Filipino lawyer, statesman and revolutionary general who fought against the Americans from 1899 to 1901 during the Philippine-American War and was later elected as a congressman and senator of the Philippines.

[1] Fearing arrest by Spanish colonial authorities for his involvement in revolutionary activities, he moved to Mindanao some time after 1895, becoming the Registrar of Deeds of the province of Misamis.

[5] Capistrano was elected to the Philippine Senate in 1916 as one of the representatives of the eleventh senatorial district.

Because he got fewer votes than Jose Clarin in the said district, he served a three-year term from 1916 to 1919.

[6] Capistrano married Cecilia Trinidad of Santa Cruz, Manila in 1895[1] and had nine children.
