El Español was a monthly newspaper published in London between 1810 and 1814, founded by the exiled Spanish journalist and writer José María Blanco White. Its first issue appeared on 30 April 1810. The publication was critical of the Constitution and the Cortes of Cádiz, and its distribution was eventually prohibited in Spanish territories. It ceased publication after the return of Ferdinand VII to power and the restoration of absolutism.
