Pablo Muñoz Vega, SJ (23 May 1903 – 3 June 1994) was an Ecuadorian Catholic prelate who served as Archbishop of Quito from 1967 until his resignation in 1985. He was a member of the Jesuits and was made a cardinal in 1969.

His cause of canonization commenced on 9 April 2016 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints granted their formal approval of the cause on 10 December 2015; this gives him the title Servant of God.
