Eugenio Ímaz Echeverría (San Sebastián, June 14, 1900 – Veracruz, January 28, 1951) was a Spanish philosopher and translator. He is the grandfather of Carlos Imaz Gispert, the Mexican politician. He graduated in law and philosophy from the Universidad Central de Madrid (1925 and 1929, respectively). Through a grant from the Board for the Expansion of Studies Imaz travelled to Germany, where he worked at different universities and completed his studies for two years. From this period, he collaborated in publications such as Revista de Occidente y Cruz y Raya. At the end of the Spanish Civil War Ímaz was forced into exile in Mexico, where he shortly after participated in the constitution of the Junta de Cultura Española as vice-secretary under the direction of José Bergamín. Here he continued his work publishing España Peregrina and Romance, and he joined the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México as a professor in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. From 1939 to 1946 Ímaz lived in Mexico City. In the summer of 1939, in the company of his wife, the German Hilde Jahnke, and their children, Carlos and Víctor, he arrived in Mexico as a refugee. While there he continued his work with the Junta de Cultura Española.
