José María Bueno y Monreal (11 September 1904 – 20 August 1987) was a Spanish Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church who served as Archbishop of Seville from 1957 to 1982, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1958.

Born in Zaragoza, José Bueno studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Angelicum in Rome. He was ordained to the priesthood on 19 March 1927, and then taught at the seminary and journalism school in Madrid until 1945. Becoming a professor at Madrid's Superior Institute of Religious Culture in 1929, Monreal also served as diocesan fiscal from 1935 to 1945, which was the same year he was made a doctoral canon.

On 1 December 1945, he was appointed Bishop of Jaca by Pope Pius XII. Monreal received his episcopal consecration on 19 March 1946 from Bishop Leopoldo Eijo y Garay, with Bishops Casimiro Morcillo González and Luigi Muñoyerro serving as co-consecrators. He was later named Bishop of Vitoria on 13 May 1950, and Coadjutor Archbishop of Seville and Titular Archbishop of Antiochia in Pisidia on 27 October 1954. As coadjutor, Monreal served under Cardinal Pedro Segura y Sáenz, who refused even to see Monreal and tried to stop his efforts to soften the Cardinal's strict rules for Sevillian Catholics.
