Joaquín Cuadras (1843 - 1877) was a Cuban painter.

He is believed to have spent some time in London around 1864 where he sat for the portrait painter Julia Goodman. Later that year he travelled to Cuba with Julia Goodman’s son, Walter Goodman.

Between 1868 and 1869 Cuadras was director of Academia de Dibujo de Santiago de Cuba. In 1876 he won a silver medal in an exhibition at Liceo Artístico y Literario de La Habana. He won a bronze medal in 1877 in the los juegos florales of the Liceo de Matanzas. Four of his notable Cuban works were Como de Médicis, Río Baconao, Orfila Coronado Por Una Diosa (1874), and Lección de Anatomía - the whereabouts of which are unknown today.

Joaquín Cuadras died in Rome in January 1877.
