Andrés Dorantes de Carranza (Bejar, c. 1500 to c. 1550s) was an early Spanish explorer of North America. The son of a minor noble family, Dorantes and his Moorish slave Estevánico joined the Pánfilo de Narváez expedition to Florida in 1527. The expedition was a disaster, and only four members, Dorantes, Estevánico, Alonso del Castillo Maldonado, and Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, walked across the deserts of modern Mexico, New Mexico, and Texas, before finally reaching civilization in 1536.
