'''Francisco Hernández de Córdoba''' ({{IPA-es|fɾanˈθisko eɾˈnandeθ ðe ˈkoɾðoβa|lang}}; {{c.|1475}} – 1526) is usually reputed as the founder of [[Nicaragua]], and in fact he founded two important Nicaraguan cities, [[Granada, Nicaragua|Granada]] and [[León, Nicaragua|León]]. The currency of Nicaragua is named the ''[[Córdoba (currency)|córdoba]]'' in his memory.

Córdoba was an officer of [[Pedro Arias Dávila]], known also as Pedrarias Dávila.<ref name=Leon>León, P., 1998, The Discovery and Conquest of Peru, Chronicles of the New World Encounter, edited and translated by Cook and Cook, Durham: Duke University Press, {{ISBN|9780822321460}}</ref>{{rp|43}} [[Hernán Cortés]] and Hernán Ponce de León supported Córdoba during the [[Spanish conquest of Nicaragua|conquest of Nicaragua]] in 1524,{{rp|135}} in return for support against [[Cristóbal de Olid]].
