Pedro Herrero Rubio (29 April 1904 - 5 November 1978) was a Spanish Roman Catholic pediatrician. Herrero studied in Madrid and later in both Paris and Brussels before he began his profession in pediatrics in his hometown of Alicante where he served his entire life. He was arrested during the Spanish Civil War but released not long after his arrest after the Alicante populace demanded his release. He dedicated himself to aiding the poor and would often visit poorer neighborhoods in order to tend to children. His services as a doctor earned him several accolades in his later life including an appointment to the town's civic council.
