Lorenzo Robledo (3 July 1918 – September 2006) was a Spanish film actor, who made over 85 appearances in film between 1956 and 1982. He is a familiar face in Italian Westerns, having appeared in a total of 32 spaghetti Westerns throughout the 1960s and early 1970s.

Robledo is probably best known for his roles in Sergio Leone's spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s and 1970s, portraying minor characters in the trilogy of films A Fistful of Dollars (1964),[1] For a Few Dollars More (1965),[2] The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966),[3] and Once Upon a Time in the West in 1968.[4] He acted in many other Westerns prolifically including the tortured sheriff in Four of the Apocalypse (1975).[5]

His most notable role in Leone's films (where he is more recognizable) is in For a Few Dollars More when he plays the character of a cornered enemy of the main evil villain who tortures him and murders his family before killing him[citation needed].

Robledo died in September 2006 in Madrid.[6]
