Frederic Mompou i Dencausse (alternatively Federico Mompou; 16 April 1893 – 30 June 1987), was a Spanish composer and pianist. He is remembered for his solo piano music and, to a degree, his songs.

Mompou is best known as a miniaturist, writing short, relatively improvisatory music often described as "delicate" or "intimate." His principal influences were French impressionism, Erik Satie and Gabriel Fauré, resulting in a style in which musical development is minimized, and expression is concentrated into very small forms
