Raziel (8 February 1973 – 4 April 2022) was the ring name of a Mexican luchador enmascarado (or masked professional wrestler), best known for his work in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

Raziel's real name is not on public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.[2] He previously worked as Caligula for many years, forming the team Los Romanos along with Messala (who is now known as Cancerbero). The name "Raziel" is taken from the Archangel Raziel in Jewish mysticism, and is sometimes also written as "Raciel".
