Fernando Condés Romero (1906 in Lavadores, Vigo – July 23, 1936 in Somosierra) was a Spanish military officer of the Civil Guard. Linked to the PSOE, he was an instructor for socialist militias and led the group of police and civilians who illegally detained the right-wing deputy José Calvo Sotelo, with the aim of assassinating him, which happened a few moments after removing him from his home.
