Álvaro Gil-Robles y Gil-Delgado (born 9 September 1944 in Lisbon, Portugal) is a Spanish jurist and human rights activist.

Álvaro Gil-Robles was born in the family of prominent Spanish conservative leader José María Gil-Robles y Quiñones (1898-1980), which was the professor of constitutional law and founder and leader of the CEDA (Spanish Confederation of autonomous rights).

Álvaro Gil-Robles could come to Spain at the beginning of the 1950s, where he got a great humanistic education at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (1966) and after that, in seven years, obtained his doctorate at the University with a thesis on the legal role of the defender of the people (1973).

He was the first person to occupy this newly created position, and was succeeded by Thomas Hammarberg.

From 2000 to 2005 he visited public organizations in various countries (ee the list below) and showed violations of human rights in his reports to the corresponding governments for their future improvement.
