Francisco Moreno Capdevila (January 18, 1926 – May 3, 1995) was a Mexican artist of Spanish origin, best noted for his engraving and other graphic work.
He came to Mexico as a political refugee after the fall of the Republicans in 1939.
Unlike other Spanish artists of his generation, he was young when he arrived and did not begin studying or working in art until he was in Mexico.
His work generally had cultural and political themes, but also included a portable mural about the fall of Tenochtitlan.
This work was at the Museo de la Ciudad de México for thirty years, but today it is at the law school of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
His work was recognized by membership in various honor societies, including the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana and the Academia de Artes.
