Francisco Raul "Quico" Canseco (born July 30, 1949) is an American attorney and businessman who was the U.S. representative for Texas's 23rd congressional district from 2011 to 2013. He is a member of the Republican Party.
Defeated for re-election in 2012, Canseco launched a bid to return to Congress in 2014. He was handily defeated by Will Hurd in a runoff primary election. In another bid to return to the U.S. House, Canseco ran in the 2018 Republican primary for Texas's 21st congressional district to succeed retiring incumbent Republican Lamar Smith. He was ultimately unsuccessful, garnering less than 5% of the vote. He was again an unsuccessful candidate in the 2026 election in the 23rd congressional district, attempting to primary incumbent Tony Gonzales.
