Pedro Cubero Sebastián (El Frasno, Spain, 1645 – 1700)[1] was a Spanish priest, best known for his eastwards travel around the world from 1670 to 1679. He was one of the most widely traveled men in his time.

Pedro Cubero was born in the village of El Frasno, near to Calatayud, in the Spanish region of Aragón. He studied in Zaragoza and Salamanca, up to his ordination as a priest in Zaragoza, and soon afterwards went to Rome, where he joined the Propaganda Fide congregation.
