Theresa Josephine Cafrine (13 June 1877 – 14 January 1907) was a woman from Seychelles, known for writing about her suffering from leprosy.
Her wounds were said to have miraculously healed upon her death.
The journal that she kept documenting her life with leprosy was published as an autobiography after her death.
Cafrine was inducted into the Seychelles Women's Hall of Fame in 2012 and a committee from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Port Victoria is gathering evidence for a potential beatification.
