Raquel Fundora de Rodríguez Aragón (d. 2001) was a poet and a president of the Miami chapter of the Circle of Pan-American Culture. Founded in 1963 by Carlos M. Raggi, a Cuban professor, the Círculo de Cultura Panamericano (CCP) is an independent, non-profit cultural organization that includes educators, artists and writers who are dedicated to the study and promotion of Hispanic cultures under freedom and democracy.

Fundora also published several works of poetry. Her poems often reflect themes of nostalgia and longing for Cuba. Her books of poetry include: Nostalgia inconsolable (1973,) El canto del viento: Poemas (1983), Sendero de ensueños : Poesías (1990.)

In 1992, Fundora organized the XII Congreso Cultural de Verano of the Círculo de Cultura Panamericano (CCP) at the Koubek Memorial Center supported by Koubek Memorial Center, School of Continuing Studies at the University of Miami, and its directors Pablo Chao and Angel Pelfort.
