Fausto Cruzat y Góngora († 14 June 1702, on the Pacific aboard the Manila galleon en route to Acapulco) was a Spanish Governor-General of the Philippines from 1690 to 1701, therefore the second-longest serving governor after Rafael María de Aguilar (governor from 1793 to 1806). He is thought to be one of the most capable of the Spanish colonial officials in his day.
