Juan Blas de Castro (b. Barrachina, 1561 – d. Madrid, August 6, 1631) was a Spanish singer, musician, and composer.

Born in Barrachina, in the province of Teruel, Spain, he was the second of four brothers. In 1592, he became part of the court of the Duke of Alba in Alba de Tormes, Salamanca, together with his friend, the poet and playwright Lope de Vega. During his stay, he put to music several of Lope's poems. Both would leave Salamanca together.
