La Girona was a galleass of the 1588 Spanish Armada that foundered and sank off Lacada Point, County Antrim, on the night of 26 October 1588, after making its way eastward along the north coast of Ulster. The wreck is noteworthy for the great loss of life that resulted and the treasures recovered.
La Girona was named after the Girones family, who at the time had just become Dukes of Osuna and viceroys of Naples . Its captain was Hugo de Moncada y Gralla, knight of the Order of Malta.
