José Domingo Posada González (May 9, 1940 – January 14, 2013), of Galicia, Spain, was a member of the European Parliament from 1994 to 1999 and is the president of Galician Coalition (a regionalist political party now integrated in Commitment to Galicia).

Posada came to the spotlight in 1994 as he was the first member of the Parliament to use Galician in his spoken and written communications. This was accepted since Galician was considered to be like Portuguese, which is an official language of the European Union.<ref>O galego já é oficial na União EuropeiaTemplate:Dead link</ref><ref>Amizade e MDL enviam petição ao Parlamento Europeu em defesa da unidade da língua Template:Webarchive</ref> Since then Posada is considered a reintegrationist.
