The Villaverdists (Spanish: Villaverdistas), also known as the Villaverdist Conservatives (Spanish: Conservadores Villaverdistas), were a breakaway political faction led by Raimundo Fernández-Villaverde, which split from the Conservative Party in opposition to the economic policy of the then party leader, Antonio Maura.
The faction contested the September 1905 general election on its own, despite the death of Fernández-Villaverde in July. It was disbanded in April 1906, with its members joining both the Conservative and Liberal parties.
