José María Sánchez-Silva y García-Morales (11 November 1911 – 13 January 2002) was a Spanish writer.
His father, also José María Sánchez Silva, was a journalist close to anarchism, writing in the journal Earth, who went into exile in 1939.
The family had been unstructured and the son (Sánchez-Silva) at times was practically a vagrant child.
During the Spanish Civil War, he remained in the Republican zone in Madrid, working with the Falange until Nationalist troops entered the city.
Together with José Luis Sáenz de Heredia, he was the author of the screenplay of the movie Franco, ese hombre, a biography in the caudillo.
