Dr. Andrés Domingo y Morales del Castillo (4 September 1892 – 1 June 1979) was a Cuban jurist and politician who served as interim President of Cuba.

He was the son of Andrés Domingo y Romero and Antonia Morales del Castillo y Durive. He graduated from the University of Havana School of Law. He served as Judge and later Senator in 1944 and 1948.

Domingo served as Minister of Presidency, Justice, Housing, Defense and Foreign Minister during Fulgencio Batista’s terms as president. On August 14, 1954, Batista made Domingo President of Cuba so that he could run for president. Once Batista was sworn in as president on February 24, 1955, Domingo resumed his ministerial positions. He never married.
