Francisco Martín-Moreno, 1st Count of Martín Moreno (1880 – 23 April 1941) was a Spanish military officer who served as Chief of the Defence High Command (Alto Estado Mayor, AEM) between 1940 and 1941, i.e., chief of staff of the Spanish Armed Forces during the Francoist dictatorship.

In 1961, Francisco Franco, as Caudillo of the re-established Kingdom of Spain, posthumously granted Martín-Moreno the title of Count of Martín Moreno. The title was immediately assumed by his son, Don Francisco José Martín-Moreno y González. It was abolished in October 2022, under the purview of the Democratic Memory Law.
