Alfredo Pasillas (July 16, 1966 – June 13, 2018) was a Mexican luchador and enmascarado (masked) professional wrestler, best known for his work in the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) under the ring name Arkangel de la Muerte. He is often referred to as just Arkangel, and previously worked under the ring name Mister Cid until 1991. His name means "Archangel of Death" in Spanish.

In addition to his long in-ring career, Arkangel was most known for being a prolific professional wrestling trainer with CMLL's wrestling school and had a small or large part in training in all wrestlers who worked for CMLL between 2006 and his death in 2018. In the years leading up to his death, he served as the head trainer at the school. His in-ring career included reigns with the CMLL World Welterweight Championship and the Mexican National Welterweight Championship, as well as winning the mask of Ángel Azteca. He was a founding member of the groups Pandilla Guerrera and Los Guerreros Tuareg.
