Ramón de la Cruz Cano y Olmedilla (born March 28, 1731 in Madrid ; died March 5, 1794 ) was a Spanish neo-classical playwright .

Born in Madrid, he was a clerk in the Ministry of Finance. He is the author of three hundred Sainetes , a selection of which he published in ten volumes (Madrid, 1786–1791). They overshadow his attempts in various other literary genres , including comedies and tragedies . The best of his pieces, such as Las tertulias de Madrid (The Tertulias of Madrid ), are satirical observational pieces . A popular piece is Las castañeras picadas .

The Zarzuela Clementina , a comedy with music in two acts ( comedia con música en dos actos ), which the Duchess of Benaventa commissioned for a performance in her palace theater , is relatively little known . The composition was done by Luigi Boccherini , who was also employed by the Duchess at the time.

The first Spanish translation of Shakespeare's Hamlet was published by Ramón de la Cruz in 1772.

The Spanish geographer, cartographer, illustrator and engraver Juan de la Cruz Cano y Olmedilla (1734–1790) was the younger brother of Ramón de la Cruz.
