Joaquim da Silva Rabelo, later Frei Joaquim do Amor Divino Rabelo (August 20, 1779 – January 13, 1825), commonly known as Frei Caneca (English: Friar Mug), was a brazilian religious leader, politician, and journalist.
He was involved in multiple revolts in Northeastern Brazil during the early 19th century.
He acted as the main leader on the Pernambucan Revolt.
As a journalist, he founded and edited Typhis Pernambucano, a weekly journal used on the Confederation of the Equator. Evaldo Cabral de Mello described him as: "The man in the history of Brazil that embodied the quintessential nativist sentiment was curiously a Lusitanian 'jus sanguinis'."
