Enrique Jurado Barrio (15 September 1882 - 30 March 1965) was a Spanish military colonel who fought in the Spanish Civil War for the Second Spanish Republic. Born in a family with a strong military background, Jurado participated in the war in Morocco, and on war merits he was promoted despite his opposition to this type of promotion.

During the war he commanded several military units, leading two Republican Army Corps during the Battles of Guadalajara and Brunete. In the last days of the conflict, he was in command of the General Directorate of Special Defense against Aircraft (DECA) and the Eastern Army Group, which he led during the Withdrawal from Catalonia. After the Republican defeat, he fled to France and later South America. He lived in Uruguay during his final days.
