Cirilo B. Flores (June 20, 1948 – September 6, 2014) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the bishop of the Diocese of San Diego in California, a position he held from September 18, 2013 until his death on September 6, 2014.

Cirilo Flores was born in Corona, California; one of six children, he has three brothers and two sisters. His father was from Sinaloa, Mexico. He attended the Corona Unified School District and St. Edward School. After graduating from Notre Dame High School in Riverside in 1966, he studied at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. In 1968 he entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus, but left to pursue a legal career. He completed his Bachelor's degree at Loyola Marymount University in 1970. Flores later said, "I went in conflicted to begin with. I couldn't decide if I wanted to be a priest or a lawyer."
