Juan Bautista José Cabanilles (also Juan Bautista Josep, Valencian: Joan) (1644-1712) was a Spanish organist and composer at Valencia Cathedral.

He is considered by many to have been the greatest Spanish Baroque composer, and has been called the Spanish Bach.

In 1665, at 20 years of age, he was named the assistant organist of the cathedral. A year later, upon the death of his predecessor, he became the principal organist. On 22 September 1668 he was ordained as a priest.

He kept his position as principal organist for 45 years, but from 1703 on his health often necessitated that a substitute be found. From 1675 to 1677 he also took charge of teaching the children in the cathedral choir.
