Jacinto Vera y Durán was a Uruguayan Roman Catholic prelate who served as the first Bishop of Montevideo. He was an active prelate in Montevideo though his efforts to renew the priesthood and ecclesial initiatives bought him into conflict with the government who exiled him to Buenos Aires in 1862 where he was until 1863. It was at that stage a revolution had taken place and he was invited to return where he was met with a grand welcome. His objectives included visiting rural locations and this increased once he was appointed as the first Montevideo diocesan bishop. There is a barrio of Montevideo that is named after him.
