The ambassador of Spain to Lithuania is the official representative of the Kingdom of Spain to the Republic of Lithuania.
Lithuania and Spain maintained diplomatic relations in the past, during the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, however, these were managed through the ambassador in Warsaw, seat of the royal court. After Lithuania's independence, Spain recognized the country on 27 July 1922.[1] Since 1929, the Spanish minister to Latvia was also accredited to Lithuania, and it served until 1940, when the Soviet Union invaded the country. Diplomatic relations were re-established on 7 October 1991.[2] The ambassador to Denmark assumed the diplomatic and consular affairs until 2004, when Spain created a resident embassy in the Vilnius.[2]
