Armindo Cadilla Ginorio (January 11, 1906 – February 16, 1975), served as an associate justice of the Puerto Rico Supreme Court from 1973 to 1975.
Born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico on January 11, 1906, he studied law at the University of Puerto Rico School of Law. He was a member of the Phi Eta Mu fraternity.
In 1963, he was appointed by Governor Luis Muñoz Marín as a Superior Court Justice. In 1973, at the age of 67, he was appointed by Governor Rafael Hernández Colón as an Associate Justice.
