Francisco Camino Sánchez (Spanish: [fɾanˈθisko kaˈmino ˈsantʃeθ]; 14 December 1940 – 29 July 2024), known in the bullfighting world as Paco Camino (Spanish: [ˈpako kaˈmino]),[2] was a Spanish bullfighter and bull breeder. A bullfighter of the highest order, he dominated tauromachy and was twelve times borne shoulder-high out through the Great Gate at Las Ventas in Madrid, a record bested only by Santiago Martín Sánchez ("El Viti").
