Rosa Elena Cornejo Pazmiño (11 December 1874 – 24 October 1964), also known by her religious name María Francisca of the Wounds, was an Ecuadorian religious sister in the Roman Catholic Church. She founded the Hermanas Franciscanas Misioneras de la Inmaculada (Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate).

Pope Benedict XVI recognized her life of heroic virtue and conferred upon her the title of Venerable on 20 December 2012. A miracle attributed to her and needed for her beatification is now under investigation.
