Gaspar de Jáuregui (19 September 1791 – 19 December 1844), also known as "El Pastor" , was one of many Spanish guerrilleros who came to prominence in the Spanish War of Independence. He was appointed Captain general of the Provincias Vascongadas in 1943.
The only biographical details that are known about Jáuregi before he came to prominence as a guerrillero is that he worked as a postman. Likewise, the only documentation that refers to his nickname "El Pastor" as his profession, is based on the fact that cattle figure among the assets declared by his parents.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
