The Zóbel de Ayala clan is a prominent Filipino family of Spanish and German Jewish descent who were the founders of Ayala y Compañía (now Ayala Corporation) and patrons of the Premio Zóbel literary awards. The clan is directly descended from Jácobo Zóbel de Zangróniz (1842–1896) and Trinidad de Ayala Roxas (1856–1918). Ayala y Compañía (established in 1876) traces its origins to Casa Róxas, a business partnership established in 1834 between Domingo Róxas (1792–1843) and Antonio de Ayala (1803–1876).
