Isidro Buenaventura Maiztegui Pereiro (born July 14, 1905 in Gualeguay , † May 29, 1996 in Mar del Plata ) was an Argentine composer.

Maiztegui attended the Conservatory of his hometown and studied from 1927 at the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires. In 1930 he began studying at the Conservatorio Nacional de Música y Declamación , where his teachers included Athos Palma (theory of harmony), José Gil (counterpoint) and José André (composition). At the same time he worked at the Teatro Colón from 1931 to 1938 .

Since 1933 Maiztegui was active as a film music composer. By the early 1950s, he composed the music for more than 50 Argentinian films. For this purpose, the Comisión de Comunicación Social of the Argentine Bishops' Conference awarded him the Premio San Gabriel in 1995 . He also composed ballets, orchestral pieces, chamber music and works for solo music. He also taught at the Colegio Nacional Bernardino Rivadavia of Buenos Aires and at the Conservatory of the Universidad de Cuyo and was active as a choir director.

From 1952 to 1969 he lived in Paris, after which he headed the Instituto de Arte Lírico of the city of Buenos Aires and in 1973 became director of the music archive of the Teatro Colón. The city of Mar del Plata made him an honorary citizen in 1995.
