Higinio Ruvalcaba (11 January 1905 in Yahualica, Jalisco – 15 January 1976 in Mexico City) was a Mexican violinist and composer.[1]

He received his first lessons when he was 4, from his father, who was an upholsterer who played cello in the local band.[2] In 1917, at age twelve, Higinio Ruvalcaba gives his first concert as a soloist, at the Teatro Degollado in Guadalajara.[2]

He replaced[3] Jenö Léner, founder and namesake of Léner String Quartet, touring with second violin José Smilovitz; viola Herbert Froelich, and Hungarian cellist Imre Hartman[4] after Léner left the group in 1943 due to internal disagreements.[5]
