The ambassador of Spain to Egypt is the official representative of the Kingdom of Spain to the Arab Republic of Egypt. As of 2026, the Embassy in Cairo is responsible for consular affairs regarding Yemen.
Before the unification of the Spanish kingdoms at the end of the 15th century, Castile and Aragon sent diplomatic missions to the Mamluk Sultanate. Also, at the beginning of the 16th century, the Catholic Monarchs sent Peter Martyr d'Anghiera to avoid reprisals from the Sultanate against the Christian population for the expulsion of the Muslims from the Peninsula.
Since 1893, Spain appointed diplomatic agents to the region and, once Egypt declared its independence from the United Kingdom, Spain established a legation in Cairo around 1925, appointing the first minister resident the following year. In 1949, this legation was elevated to the rank of embassy. From 1958 to 1971, this embassy served as main diplomatic representation to he United Arab Republic.
This list was compiled using the work "History of the Spanish Diplomacy" by the Spanish historian and diplomat Miguel ÃÂngel Ochoa Brun. The work covers up to the year 2000, so the rest is based on appointments published in the BoletÃÂn Oficial del Estado.
