Vicente Mut i Armengol (25 October 1614 – 27 April 1687) was a Mallorcan astronomer, engineer, historian, mathematician and soldier.

One of the most distinguished Spanish astronomers of the seventeenth century, Mut studied the Pleiades, the diameter of the Sun, and the determination of the meridians.

In order to estimate the Sun's apparent diameter, he used a solid device to obtain the image of the star when it was at the meridian on a screen that was perpendicular to the optic axis of the telescope.

The technique that the Majorcan astronomer used was commented on by Riccioli in the Almagestum Novum and by Claude Dechales in his Cursus seu mundus mathematicus.

The second of the cited works, Observationes motuum caelestium brought together the results of over twenty years of studying and patient observation of the heavens.

His observations of the comet of 1664 and his resulting hypothesis that its trajectory was parabolic, explaining its movement as analogous to that of a projectile deserves special mention.
