Antonio Ordóñez Araujo (1932–98) was a Spanish bullfighter and one of the top bullfighters of his time.  He was a long time friend of Ernest Hemingway, whom he called Father Ernesto.  Hemingway wrote an account of Ordóñez's rivalry with the matador Luis Miguel Dominguín, titled "The Dangerous Summer".  Ordóñez also befriended Hollywood movie star Orson Welles, whose ashes are buried on Ordóñez's estate.
