Spanish chapel master and composer of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, son of composer Diego de Cáseda y Saldívar. He may have studied under his father as a choirboy in El Pilar de Zaragoza. José de Cáseda was chapel master in various Spanish churches including Colegiata de Santa María de Calatayud (1681), Calahorra (1682), Pamplona (1691-1695) y en la seo de Zaragoza (1695-1709), Santo Domingo de la Calzada (1708-1710) and Sigüenza from 1711).
One of his villancico texts alludes to the vihuela as an allegory of the crucifixion.
