Torcuato José Benjumeda y Laguada (1757, El Puerto de Santa María – 1836, Cádiz) was a Spanish architect.

A disciple of Torcuato Cayón, he was one of the most important Neoclassical architects in Andalusia, designing several of the most prominent buildings in Cádiz.

[1][2] Torcuato José Benjumeda y Laguada was born in El Puerto de Santa María on 4 January 1757.

His father was born in Málaga, son of Francisco Benjumea and Ana Francisca de Gálves, and his mother was a native of San Pedayna in Genoa, daughter of Cayetano Laguada and Rosa Bertorela.

[3] In 1781, at the age of 24, Benjumeda replaced Torcuato Cayón as Maestro mayor de obras (master of works).

In 1833, he requested permission from the City Council for a leave of absence on health grounds, as he recovered from a nervous breakdown.
