Juan del Encina (1468–1529/30) was a Spanish composer, poet, priest, and playwright, often credited as the joint-father (even "founder" or "patriarch") of Spanish drama, alongside Gil Vicente. His birth name was Juan de Fermoselle. Along with Juan de Anchieta, Juan de Urreda, Joan Cornago and Francisco de Peñalosa, he is one of the greatest exponents of religious and secular polyphony in Spain at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th centuries, during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs.
