Tinguaro (?-December 1495) was a Guanche sigoñe (warrior chief) of Tenerife, also known as Achimenchia Tinguaro. He was chief of the area known as Acentejo. Half-brother of the mencey (king) Bencomo, Tinguaro led the Guanche forces to victory against the invading Castilians in the First Battle of Acentejo. He fell in the Second Battle of Acentejo, a crushing defeat for the natives of the island, resulting in the conquest of the island by the Castilians.
