José Luis Escrivá Belmonte (pronounced [xoseˈlwis eskɾiˈβa]; born 5 December 1960) is a Spanish economist currently serving as governor of the Bank of Spain since 2024. Previously, he served as minister of Digital Transformation and Civil Service and as minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, both under Pedro Sánchez.

Before entering in politics, Escrivá had important roles in the Spanish and European fiscal oversight bodies, such as Spain's Independent Authority for Fiscal Responsibility (2014–2020) and the European Union Independent Fiscal Institutions Network (2015–2019). Likewise, he has served as Head of the Monetary Policy Division of the European Central Bank (1999–2004) and as Chief Representative for the Americas at the Basel-based Bank for International Settlements (2012–2014).

In the private sector, Escrivá worked from 2004 to 2012 at the BBVA banking group, first as its global Chief-Economist and Director of the Research Department, and from 2010 as the Managing Director responsible for Global Public Finance.
