The Infante Don Gonzalo of Spain (24 October 1914 - 13 August 1933) was the fourth son and sixth child of Alfonso XIII of Spain and his wife Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg.
On 11 August 1933, Don Gonzalo was a passenger in a car driven by his sister, the Infanta Beatriz, near Lake Worther, Carinthia, when she was forced to swerve to avoid a cyclist, and as a result crashed into a wall.
Although neither brother nor sister appeared badly hurt, owing to his inherited haemophilia, Gonzalo suffered major internal bleeding which resulted in his death two days later.
