Alonso de Estrada (c. 1470, Ciudad Real, Castile – 16 February 1530, Veracruz)[1] was a colonial official in New Spain during the period of Hernán Cortés' government, and before the appointment of the first viceroy. He was a member of the triumvirates that governed the colony for several short periods between 1524 and 1528, in the absence of Cortés.
