José Raúl Capablanca y Graupera (La Habana, 19 de noviembre de 1888 - Nueva York, 8 de marzo de 1942) fue un ajedrecista cubano, tercer campeón mundial de ajedrez de 1921 a 1927. Por su genio precoz, fue apodado "el Mozart del ajedrez"; por el aura de invencibilidad, en su época dorada se le llamó "la máquina del ajedrez". Capablanca, Ramón Fonst y Alfredo de Oro constituyen las tres figuras más importantes del mundo deportivo cubano de las primeras décadas del siglo XX, cuando fueron llamados "la tríada de oro cubana", ya que cada uno era el máximo exponente en su deporte.
