Andrew Kaggwa was a 19th-century Ugandan Catholic martyr who served as a musician and catechist. Born around 1856 in the kingdom of Buganda, he held the significant position of bandmaster-General, known as the Mugowa, under King Mwanga II. Following his baptism in 1882, he remained a committed Christian during a period of intense religious persecution. He was eventually executed in May 1886 at Munyonyo after being arrested by the king's authorities for his faith.
