Ponce Giraldo de Cabrera (floruit 1105–1162), called Ponç Guerau in Catalan, was a Catalan nobleman who came to León in the entourage of Berenguela, daughter of Ramon Berenguer III, Count of Barcelona, when she married Alfonso VII of León and Castile at Saldaña in November 1127. Immediately after his arrival, Ponce assumed a position of some importance in the kingdom. By 1143 he was numbered among the counts, the highest grade of the Leonese nobility. By 1145 he had been appointed the king's majordomo, the highest-ranking official in the realm.
