Spanish writer

Castilian literary figure

A Spanish writer is an author from Spain or one who writes in Spanish.

The phrase typically distinguishes writers by nationality or language: Cervantes is the most celebrated Spanish writer.

Context determines whether it emphasizes origin or language—a Mexican novelist might be called a Spanish writer when the focus is on the language rather than the country.
