Miguel Báez Espuny (5 October 1930 – 18 May 2022), better known as "El Litri", was a Spanish bullfighter, a descendant of one of Huelva's foremost bullfighting dynasties.
His grandfather, his father, and his half-brother were likewise bullfighters, although it was he himself who outshone them all in fame and recognition. His fame became so great that in 1960, he made his own film, entitled Litri and His Shadow (Spanish: El Litri y su sombra), in which he tells the story of the whole saga, with himself as the protagonist and the cornerstone for having been the one to reach the greatest height. Báez's son, Miguel Báez Spínola "El Litri", was also a well-known matador in the 1990s.
