Gregoria Montoya y Patricio (1863–1896) was a Filipina revolutionary who fought during the Philippine Revolution.[1] To avenge her husband, also a revolutionary who died during the Revolution, Montoya led a 30-member unit of the Katipunan with "a bolo on one hand and the Katipunan flag in the other" at the Battle of Binakayan-Dalahican. She was killed during the battle, but her leadership led to a vindicated Filipino victory.[2][3]
