Luis de León (Belmonte, 1527 – Madrigal de las Altas Torres, 23 agosto 1591) è stato un poeta, traduttore e teologo spagnolo. Divenuto frate, è uno degli scrittori più importanti della seconda fase del Rinascimento spagnolo, insieme a San Giovanni della Croce e fa parte della letteratura ascetica della seconda metà del secolo. La sua poesia è ispirata dal desiderio di abbandonare gli aspetti terreni per poter ascendere a Dio. I temi morali e ascetici dominano la sua opera.
