Carlos Monsiváis (born May 4, 1938, in Mexico City) is a Mexican writer and journalist on the El Universal newspaper. He writes political opinion columns in other leading newspapers and is considered to be an opinion leader within the country's progressive sectors.

His writings, some of which are written with an ironic undertone, show a deep understanding of the origin and development of Mexican popular culture, nevertheless, his leftist view of the situation makes his opinion sometimes less clear than the situations requires.
