Alberto Casañal Shakery (1875–1943) was a Spanish poet, playwright, humorist and writer.
A native of San Roque, Cádiz, he moved to Zaragoza as a child and lived there for the rest of his life. He graduated in Physics and Chemistry and was Professor of Mathematics at the Industrial School of Zaragoza. He began to compose verses in great abundance, particularly romances, and collected traditional Aragonese and Castilian songs and wrote numerous stories and short pieces of comic theater. His works were usually set in Aragon with strong regionalist flavor, sometimes in collaboration with his friend Pablo Parellada. He collaborated on the La Gran Vía, Barcelona Cómica, Pluma y Lápiz and other publications.
