Ángel González Muñiz (6 September 1925 – 12 January 2008) was a major Spanish poet of the twentieth century.

He took a law degree at the University of Oviedo and, in 1950, moved to Madrid to work in Civil Administration.

It was in Madrid that he first began to write and publish his poetry, becoming friends with many of the leading Spanish writers who encouraged his work.

His second book, Grado elemental ("Elementary Grade"), was published in Paris and won the prestigious Antonio Machado Prize for Poetry.
