José María Arroyo y Pidal (1875 – March 8, 1927) was a Filipino politician. He served as the representative of the first district of Iloilo from 1916 to 1919, and as a senator representing the seventh senatorial district from 1919 until his death in Italy on March 8, 1927.

He is the grandfather of former first gentleman, Jose Miguel Arroyo who is the husband of former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. His wife, Jesusa Araneta Lacson, is the first born child of Philippine Revolutionary hero, Gen.Aniceto Lacson of Negros Occidental.

The Arroyo Fountain in front of the Iloilo Provincial Capitol and built in 1927 was named after him in recognition for his efforts of authoring Republic Act No. 3222, a law that establishes the Iloilo Metropolitan Waterworks in 1925. It stands on Kilometer Zero as the benchmark to measure distances from Iloilo City to other points in Panay Island, Western Visayas region and other places in the Philippines.
