Pedro Muñoz Seca (El Puerto de Santa María, province of Cádiz, February 20, 1881 – November 28, 1936) was a Spanish dramatist. He was the inventor of a new genre of comic theatre, the astracanada, the most celebrated example of which is his own La venganza de Don Mendo ('Don Mendo's Revenge', 1918), a satire of the works of Pedro Calderón de la Barca.
He had a fruitful collaboration with Pedro Pérez Fernández ("Los extremeños se tocan", 1927).
A Nationalist sympathiser, he was executed early in the Spanish Civil War by Republican soldiers in the mass shootings at Paracuellos de Jarama.
