José Ardévol (13 March 1911, in Barcelona – 7 January 1981, in Havana) was a Cuban composer and conductor of Spanish derivation.
As a child, Ardévol studied under his father, Fernando, who was a musician and conductor.
In 1942 he founded a movement called Grupo de renovación musical, which included several of his students devoted to his aesthetic ideals.
He continued teaching, working as a professor of composition at Havana Conservatory from 1965 and at the National School of Music from 1968.
Ardévol's early compositions fall generally into the style of neoclassicism, but later in his life he began to explore the techniques of aleatory music and serialism.
