Bencomo (or Benchomo) (died November 1495) was mencey or king of Taoro, a Guanche menceyato on the island of Tenerife. He fought in the First Battle of Acentejo, a victory for the Guanches against the invading Castilians, after having refused the terms of Alonso Fernández de Lugo, but may have perished on the heights of San Roque during the Battle of Aguere, alongside his brother Tinguaro.
He had several children, including: Dácil and Bentor. His son Bentor succeeded him as mencey.
