Joan Massià i Prats (Barcelona, 22 February 1890[1] - 11 June 1969) was a Catalan composer and violinist.
His first wife was the pianist and student of d'Indy, Blanche Selva (1884-1942), with whom Massià recorded the Franck violin sonata and other works.[2] After her death he remarried; his second wife was the Spanish pianist María Carbonell (1911-1988).[3] His students included the violinist Gonçal Comellas.[4]
