Ramón de la Cruz (March 28, 1731 - March 5, 1794), Spanish dramatist, was born at Madrid.

He was a clerk in the ministry of finance, and is the author of three hundred sainetes, little farcical sketches of city life, written to be played between the acts of a longer play. He published a selection in ten volumes (Madrid, 1786-1791). The best of his pieces, such as Las Tertulias de Madrid, are delightful specimens of satiric observation.
