Cesario Estrada Chavez (/ ˈ tʃ ɑː v ɛ z /; Spanish:; March 31, 1927 – April 23, 1993) was an American labor leader and civil rights activist. Along with Dolores Huerta and lesser known Gilbert Padilla, he co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), which later merged with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC) to become the United Farm Workers (UFW) labor union.

While he was building the new union, Helen Chávez picked up a job working in a field picking grapes for less than $2.00 per day.
