Don Fernando, full name perhaps Fernando Palaiologos, was a 15th and 16th-century nobleman of Greek descent who lived in Italy. Fernando is known only from a 1499 letter that mentions a mission "to the Turk" and that Fernando was "son of the Despot of the Morea". Fernando's identity is otherwise unclear; he might have been a son of Andreas Palaiologos, who claimed that position in 1499.
