Joseph Mukasa Balikuddembe (1860 – 15 November 1885) was a Ugandan Roman Catholic and the majordomo at the court of Mwanga II of Buganda recognized as a martyr and saint by the Catholic Church. Early in his reign the new king Mwanga began to crack down on Christian missionaries and converts in his country and executed the British Anglican bishop James Hannington and his companions on October 29 1885 ignoring Mukasa’s pleas to spare the bishop.
