Pedro Fajardo y Chacón, 1st Marquis of los Vélez, Grandee of Spain, (in full, Spanish: Don Pedro Fajardo y Chacón Manrique de Lara, primer marqués de los Vélez, tercer señor de Cartagena, señor de Mula, Molina, Alhama, Librilla y Benitaglar, Adelantado mayor y capitán general del Reino de Murcia, alcaide de los Alcázares de las ciudades de Murcia, Lorca y marquesado de Villena, comendador de Caravaca y Comendador mayor de León), (unknown – 1542) was a Spanish military and nobleman. His seat was at the Castillo de Vélez-Blanco.
He was humiliated when in 1520, the vocal citizens of Mula made him swear to respect the privileges that Ferdinand III of Castile gave to the village. In this way the dispute against the Marquess over the municipal government council began. The Marquess pre-empted the situation with the construction of his fortress Castillo de los Vélez to make his rule over the people of Mula assured. He also ordered the construction of the Castillo de Vélez-Blanco between 1506-1513 and the Castillo de Cuevas del Almanzora from 1507.
In the Revolt of the Comuneros between 1520-1522 he first sympathized with the Comuneros, but finally sided with King Charles I of Spain in order to obtain the royal favor.
