This is a list of conquistadors who were active in the conquest of terrains that presently belong to Colombia. The nationalities listed refer to the state the conquistador was born into. Granada and Castile are currently part of Spain, but were separate states at the time of birth of the early conquistadors.
^Although the country Colombia is named after Columbus, he has never seen the present country of Colombia. Panama, where he disembarked in 1503, was part of (Gran) Colombia until 1903
