Aureliano Sánchez Arango (7 June 1907 – 23 April 1976) was a Cuban lawyer, politician and university professor.

In August 1951, Eduardo Chibas accused Sanchez of stealing children's breakfast funds to build a housing project in Guatemala.

He later helped finance Fidel Castro in overthrowing Batista and later went into permanent exile to the United States.

He was married to Estrella Echeverria on January 22, 1936, at the Parish Church of Vedado, Havana, Cuba, who had two children, Alfredo and Delia (Lela) Sánchez Echeverría.

Sanchez Echeverria was allowed to go into exile in 1977, a few months after his father had died of a heart attack.
