The ambassador permanent representative of Spain to the United Nations is the official representative of the Kingdom of Spain to the United Nations (UN) based in New York City, United States. This permanent representation, unlike the Permanent Representation of Spain to the European Union, does not have its own legislation and is regulated by the general regulations governing diplomatic missions, by international law and by the internal law of the UN.

The United Nations has several headquarters in different countries. This position should not be confused with that of the ambassadors posted in Geneva, Nairobi, Rome and Vienna.

As of 16 March 2026, the current permanent representative of Spain to the United Nations is Héctor Gómez Hernández, who previously served as minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism from March to November 2023.
