Octavio Cisneros (born July 19, 1945) is a Cuban American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He currently serves as an auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn, and is also Titular Bishop of Eanach Dúin.
The third of four children, Octavio Cisneros was born in Las Villas, a province of Cuba, to Roberto Cisneros and Olga Lezcano. He and his family moved to Havana shortly after his birth. He studied under the Piarist Fathers as a child and, while a high school student in October 1961, came to the United States as a political refugee as part of Operation Peter Pan. Relocated to Marquette, Michigan, he attended St. Paul High School in Negaunee.
Cisneros then studied at St. Lawrence Minor Seminary in Mount Calvary, Wisconsin, from where he obtained an Associate of Arts degree, and at Niagara University, earning a Bachelor's degree.
