José Pablo Feinmann (29 March 1943 – 17 December 2021) was an Argentine philosopher, writer, playwright, and television host.{{Cite web |url=http://www.mertin-litag.de/authors_htm/Feinmann-J.htm |title=José Pablo Feinmann |access-date=19 December 2011 |archive-date=3 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120103052301/http://www.mertin-litag.de/authors_htm/Feinmann-J.htm |url-status=dead }} He also penned several screenplays for domestic film production and international coproductions.

Born to Abraham and Elena (de Albuquerque) Feinmann,[https://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/contratapa/13-117422-2008-12-28.html Las Navidades de Bongo] Feinmann was a Peronist Youth militant during the 1970s, considering Peronism as a real mass movement with the potential to change the country for the better. Nevertheless, he opposed armed violence to achieve political ends, criticizing the foco theory of Che Guevara which, years after the Cuban Revolution, became popular in some sectors of the Marxist-Peronist movement, such as Montoneros.

Feinmann abandoned Peronism in the 1990s, during the neoliberal government of Carlos Menem. He later became a supporter of left-wing Peronist president Cristina Fernandez.
