Gonzalo Guerrero (also known as Gonzalo Marinero, Gonzalo de Aroca and Gonzalo de Aroza) is a sailor from Palos, in Spain who shipwrecks along the Yucatán Peninsula and is taken as a slave by the local Maya.

Earning his freedom, Guerrero becomes a respected warrior under a Maya Lord and raises three of the first mestizo children in Mexico and presumably the first mixed children of the mainland Americas.

Little is known of his early life.
