Pedro Sarsfield y Waters, 1st Count Sarsfield (1781–1837), was a Spanish general of Irish descent. He is considered one of the best Spanish tacticians among his generation.

Sarsfield was a descendant of Patrick Sarsfield, a celebrated Jacobite general, and one of many Spanish generals who were second- or third generation descendants of those came from Ireland after the Battle of the Boyne (1690).
