Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja (7 June 1946 – 15 August 2026) was a Spanish feral child. He was sold to a hermitic goatherder at seven and after the goatherder's death, he lived alone with the wolves in the Sierra Morena. At 19, he was returned to civilization, but had difficulty adjusting. Gabriel Janer Manila went on to write a PhD thesis about his case, which was titled He jugado con lobos (English: "I Have Played with Wolves").
Rodríguez Pantoja later became the subject of the film Entrelobos (English title: Among Wolves), in which he appears briefly.
In March 2018, he gave an interview in which he said he was disappointed in human nature and wished he could return to the mountains and leave society.
