Eusebio Hernández Pérez (18 January 1853 – 23 November 1933) was a Cuban eugenicist, obstetrician, and mambí in the Ten Years' War, Little War, and Cuban War of Independence. He reached the rank of brigadier general in the Ejército Mambí and was professor at the University of Havana. Sarduy Nápoles named him "The Father of Cuban Obstetrics". He and Domingo Ramos Delgado posited the idea of homiculture, which integrated into the eugenics movement with the two diverging in thought.
