Pedro Fernández de Velasco, 2nd Count of Haro (in full) (c. 1425 – 1492) was a Spanish nobleman and military figure of the last stages of the Reconquista.

Fernández de Velasco was born in Burgos, the son of Pedro Fernández de Velasco and of Beatriz Manrique. He became Camarero Mayor of King Henry IV of Castile, and viceroy and governor of Castile. In 1473 Henry IV named him sixth Constable of Castile and made this title hereditary in his family.

He participated in the conquest of Úbeda and Baeza, which both occurred on Saint Andrew's day. He also fought against the Moors in the battles of Gibraltar and Archidona and participated in the conquest of Granada, where he died. He and his wife are buried in the Capilla del Condestable in the Burgos Cathedral.

He married Mencía de Mendoza y Figueroa, with whom he had ten children.
