Antonio de Cabezón (1510–March 26, 1566) was a Spanish composer and organist of the Renaissance. He was blind from early childhood.

He is best known for his Tientos—short, intense, liturgical works for organ.

Many of his compositions have survived and are in print yet today in sheet music and recorded form.

Cabezon's work is among the earliest surviving music written for solo organ.
