Rodrigo Prats (February 7, 1909 – September 15, 1980) was a Cuban composer, arranger, violinist, pianist and orchestral director.
The son of a musician, Jaime Prats, Rodrigo began to study music at the age of nine.
At around the same time he joined the Orquesta Sinfónica de la Habana, founded by Gonzalo Roig.
Prats' first work as a director of an orchestra was for the theatrical company of Arquímedes Pous; later he fronted many other groups.
