Fernando Ponce de León París (b. September 6, 1917 – d. November 13, 1998) was a Colombian writer born within a large family of eleven siblings. He lived a childhood of deprivation despite belonging to aristocratic families in Colombia, but also filled with great experiences and solidarity with his brothers and sisters. Still waiting to be published, he left several written testimonies of this period of his life. The Ponce de León París family are direct descendants of the Spanish nobleman and hero José Martín París Álvarez.
