Juan Sebastián Muñoz (born 4 January 1993) is a Colombian professional golfer.

Muñoz played college golf at the University of North Texas where he won two tournaments his senior year including the Conference USA Championship.[1]

Muñoz turned professional in 2015 and played on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica's Developmental Series where he won two tournaments. His finish on the Series earned him exempt status on the first half of the 2016 PGA Tour Latinoamérica season.[2] However, in February 2016, playing on a sponsor invitation, Muñoz won the Club Colombia Championship on the Web.com Tour. This victory, coming in his hometown of Bogotá, earned him a Web.com Tour card and was the first win by a Colombian golfer on the Web.com Tour.[3][4] He finished 22nd in the regular season money list, which earned him a PGA Tour card for the 2017 season.
