Pedro Martín de López (fl. c. 1835 - 1856) was a Spanish cartographer and publisher based in Madrid. The nephew of Tomás López (1730 - 1802), Martín de López was known for making small format globes before taking over the family publishing house Establecimiento Geográfico de López after his uncles Juan (1765 - 1830) and Tomás Mauricio (1776 - 1835) left the business. Martín de López is also known for republishing updated versions of previously created maps, or, in the case of French cartographer Auguste Henry Dufour's map of Spain, Martín de López simply republished it retitled as 'Map of Spain and Portugal'.
