The ambassador of Spain to Croatia is the official representative of the Kingdom of Spain to the Republic of Croatia.
Spain established diplomatic relations with the Independent State of Croatia (1941–1945), a puppet state of the Axis powers during the World War II. Diplomatic relations with the current Republic of Croatia were established on 9 March 1992.[1] The first ambassador, Luis de la Torre de Andrés, was resident in Budapest, Hungary.
