Garcí Bravo de Medrano (Soria, 20 November 1478 – Atienza, 16th century) was a Castilian-Basque nobleman and military leader from the House of Medrano, serving as the perpetual Alcaide (Governor) of Atienza Castle and Lord of the House of Bravo in Atienza. He inherited this position through his maternal lineage, tracing back to his grandfather Garcí Bravo de Lagunas, who established a military testament in his favor. He became the ecclesiastical patron of the main chapel in the Franciscan monastery of Atienza, reconstructed by his sister Catalina de Medrano, which also served as the family mausoleum.
