The ambassador of Spain to Uruguay is the official representative of the Kingdom of Spain to the Oriental Republic of Uruguay. In addition to the Embassy, Spain has a Consulate General in Montevideo.

Spain recognized Uruguay as an independent state in 1845, supporting Manuel Oribe in the Uruguayan Civil War. A legation was established in Montevideo, arriving the first diplomats, led by Carlos Creus y Camps, consul general and chargé d'affaires, on 20 October 1845. The first peace and friendship treaty was signed in 1870 and, in 1953, the legation in the Uruguayan capital was elevated to the rank of Embassy.
