List of ambassadors of Spain to Luxembourg

The ambassador of Spain to Luxembourg is the official representative of the Kingdom of Spain to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Following the separation of the Dutch and Luxemburg crowns in 1890, Spain recognized the Grand Duchy's new sovereign and accredited its Minister to the Netherlands as Minister to Luxembourg on 9 February 1891, this being the starting point of diplomatic relations between both nations. This situation persisted until 1922, when Minister Fernández Prida transferred Luxembourg's diplomatic affairs to the Embassy in Brussels and the consular protection to the Consulate of Spain in the Belgian capital.

Since the term of The Count of Casa Miranda, the diplomatic representation to the Grand Duke has had the rank of Embassy and, since 1970, the ambassador has been resident in Luxembourg City.
