Manuel Jiménez (born June 9, 1919 - died March 4, 2005) was a master woodcarver recognized as the founder of folk art woodcarving in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Inspired by the woodcarving of Don Pascual Santiago and the papier mache work of Pedro Linares, Jimenez transformed a local craft into a highly-collectible art form.
