Josep Puig i Cadafalch (Mataró, October 15, 1867 - Barcelona, December 21, 1956) was a Modernist Catalan architect who designed many significant buildings in Barcelona. He was the architect of "la Casa Martí" (also known as "Els Quatre Gats") which became a place of ideas, projects and social gatherings for such well-known Catalans as Santiago Rusiñol and Ramon Casas.

Although the style of Puig separated him significantly from his contemporary architect Gaudí, their relations were neither tense nor problematic. It is demonstrated by the participation of both architects in the construction of the Cafe Torino. Another one of his significant buildings was the Casa Terrades (also known as "les Punxes"), which is know for its medieval castle style from the north of Europe. From 1942 to his death in 1956, he was the President of the Catalan language academy Institut d'estudis catalans.
