Pedro Vélaz de Medrano y Manso de Zúñiga, 2nd Lord of Tabuérniga (Santo Domingo de la Calzada, La Rioja 28 July 1603 – Coimbra, c. 1659) was a distinguished Spanish nobleman, knight of the Order of Santiago, and one of the most formidable naval commanders during the reign of Philip IV. He served as captain general of the Armada de Barlovento, custodian of the Spanish treasure fleet, sergeant major, governor of the tercio of Álava, governor of five Neapolitan galleons, squadron admiral, and general of the Spanish Empire. In a dramatic turn later in life, Medrano commanded a French corsair flotilla in the Caribbean under the banner of Louis XIV, seeking to capture the Spanish treasure fleet.
