Manuel Cros Grau (1 September 1901 – 1 February 1986) was a Spanish footballer who played as a center-forward for CE Europa and Espanyol. He is considered the most emblematic player in the history of CE Europa and one of the great stars of Catalan football in the 1920s alongside the likes of Zamora and Samitier, with even his haircut (brush style) being known in the barbershops of the time as "Cros's style". He also played two unofficial matches for FC Barcelona, scoring four goals. He later became a manager.
