Mateo de Toro Zambrano y Ureta, 1st Count of La Conquista (September 20, 1727[1] – February 26, 1811), was a prominent Spanish military and political figure of Criollo descent.

Toro Zambrano earned great respect during the final years of colonial Chile, occupying significant roles in both the military and local administration.

In 1810, following Francisco Antonio García Carrasco's resignation, he stepped into the role of interim president-governor and captain general of Chile.

Toro Zambrano served in various civic and military capacities, including as a councilman of the Santiago council, water magistrate (1750), and ordinary mayor of the city (1761).

He was appointed magistrate of Santiago, mayor of mines, and lieutenant of the captain general by Manuel de Amat y Juniet in 1761.

In 1769, during an uprising by the Pehuenche people in the Biobío region, he funded a cavalry company, named "Prince of Asturias," led by his own son José Gregorio.

Due to his honorable achievements, both from local governors and the Spanish Crown, Toro Zambrano pursued a Castilian title for himself and his descendants.

On March 6, 1770, a royal decree granted him the title of Count of Conquista, alluding to the conquest of the Canary Islands, in which his ancestor Juan de Toro played a significant role.
