Ángel Acebes Paniagua (born 3 July 1958) is a Spanish politician.

Acebes has been a member of parliament for the right-wing People's Party since 1996, representing Avila.

He was Interior Minister - responsible for national security and Police - when the Madrid bombings occurred and was criticised by his opponents for blaming the attacks on ETA, allegedly for electoral gain, rather than on Islamic militants.

[1] In 2012, Spain’s high court accepted a case brought by UPyD against Acebes and several executives at Bankia and its parent BFA, which will seek to examine whether its accounts were misrepresented and investors misled about the lender’s 2011 stock market listing.

[2] In October 2014, he had to appear in the High Court over allegations the PP ran a slush fund.
