Manuel María Ponce (1882 - 1948) was a Mexican composer.

Ponce's guitar music is a core part of the instrument's repertory, the best-known works being Variations and Fugue on 'La Folia' (1929) and Sonatina Meridional (1939).

One of Ponce's melodies still heard today in various arrangements is "Estrellita".
