Francisco García Tortosa (born in La Ñora (Murcia, Spain) on September 15, 1937) is a Spanish University Professor, literary critic, and translator into Spanish.
In Spain García Tortosa is considered one of the chief experts on the figure and work of the Irish writer, James Joyce, whose creations he has translated and about which he has published a wide range of studies. The Irish hispanist, Ian Gibson, has called García Tortosa «Spain's leading expert on Joyce», while considering his translation of Ulysses, in collaboration with María Luisa Venegas, as «prodigious».
