José Calistro (c. 1838 – 1875) was the last chief of the Coast Miwok community who resided at Rancho Nicasio, which was once a Native American rancho that stretched from present-day Nicasio, California to Tomales Bay.

In 1870, he secured the deed to 30 acres (120,000 m2) of land at Halleck Creek, what was left of the original Rancho, for his community of 500 people to live.
