Rafael F. Muñoz (May 1, 1899 – July 2, 1972) was a Mexican journalist, novelist and writer of short stories.
He also met the Mexican Revolutionary leader Pancho Villa, which kindled his fascination with the revolution.
For his sympathy with the revolution he had to flee the country after the election of Venustiano Carranza in 1917 and worked as journalist in the southwestern United States.
After the deposition of Carranza by General Álvaro Obregón in 1920, Muñoz returned to Mexico City to study journalism.
Rafael Muñoz became famous for his short stories and novels about the Mexican Revolution.
