Miguel Biada y Bunyol (Mataró, November 24, 1789 - Mataró, April 2, 1848) was a Spanish merchant mariner and the main promoter of the Barcelona-Mataró Railway (1848), the first railway in Catalonia and all of European Spain – in Cuba it had been inaugurated in 1837 – although since 1949 some consider it the first railway of the Iberian Peninsula.
