Spanish Immigration to Venezuela began around 1500, when the Spanish first landed on and conquered the territory, and immigration continues to the present day. There are many Venezuelans of Spanish origin, especially from the Canary Islands (known as Isleños). And by this event, most White and multiracial (Moreno, Pardo, Mestizo, and Mulatto) Venezuelans have Spanish ancestry.

Spanish immigration to Venezuela begins with the Spanish colonization of the Americas and it continued during Colonial Venezuela and after independence (1830). Further immigration has taken place since, particularly following World War II.
