Víctor Manuel San José Sánchez (born 7 July 1947) is a Spanish singer-songwriter.

He and his wife are considered symbols of the Spanish Transition,[citation needed] and his songs and albums often feature boldly-titled works with social and political content.

After his first album, his political songs caused the label to refuse to promote his records, which resulted in one commercial failure after another.

However, five of Víctor's six albums resulted in commercial hits, with four number ones and 12 songs out of 60 at the Top 40 from 1979 to 1986.

After the releasing of Para la ternura siempre hay tiempo, the bestseller of Víctor Manuel, he left CBS and founded his own label, Ion Música, and accorded with BMG the distribution.
