Juan Batlle Planas (3 March 1911 in Torroella de Montgrí, Girona, Spain – 8 October 1966 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) was an Argentine painter of Spanish origin belonging to the surrealist school, orienting in later years to romanticism.
Many of his works, while obscure, were sombre in feeling, influenced by social unrest and economic and political problems in Argentina.

Batlle Planas was an influence on numerous Latin American painters, including Roberto Aizenberg.
