The Francisco Franco National Foundation^[1]^[2]^[3] (Spanish: Fundación Nacional Francisco Franco; FNFF)^[4] is a foundation created in 1976 devoted to promoting the legacy of the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco.^[5]^[6] The only child of Franco, Carmen Franco (1926–2017) led the organisation and later became its honorary president.^[7]^[8]

In 2017 200,000 people signed a petition, calling on the Spanish government to ban the organisation.^[8]

In 2018, after new Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez promised that Franco's remains would be removed from the Valley of the Fallen, the Foundation collected a petition with 24,000 signatures to oppose the proposal.^[9] While relatively marginal in Spanish political culture, the FNFF (and members of the Franco family) gained enormous public visibility in connection with the dictator's exhumation.^[10]
