Carlos de España, 1st Conde de España[1] (15 August 1775 – 1839), also known as Charles d'Espagnac or, from 1817, Carlos d'Espagne,[2] was a French-born Spanish general who saw distinguished service in the Peninsular War, and as governor of Barcelona, was an opponent of Spanish liberals.

In his letters and dispatches, Wellington refers to him as Carlos de España.

[1] On 1 June 1811, and now a brigadier general, Carlos de España's 1st Division, part of General Francisco Javier Castaños's 5th Army, or Army of Estremadura, numbered 3,476 men present under arms.

At this battle however, Wellington's decisive victory over Marshal Marmont's army was tainted by Carlos de España having withdrawn, without orders and without informing Wellington, his detachment from the bridge at Alba de Tormes, thereby providing the retreating French troops with an escape route, which Wellington had counted on being blocked.

[5] Following Salamanca, Wellington appointed him governor of Madrid,[1] city he was ordered to abandon, along with Hill's troops, on Wellington's orders, just hours before the French advance cavalry entered the city again the following 1 November.
