Captain Cuellar's Adventures in Connacht and Ulster, A.D. 1588 is a historical book written by Hugh Allingham and first published in 1897. The book documents the true story of Captain Francisco de Cuellar, a Spanish soldier who survived the shipwreck of the Spanish Armada off the coast of Ireland in 1588.

He then embarked on a perilous journey across Connacht and Ulster, facing many dangers and difficulties along the way.

Allingham's book is based on Cuellar's own written account of his adventures, which he penned after his safe return to Spain. The book provides a fascinating insight into the political and social context of Ireland in the late 16th century, as well as the experiences of a foreigner stranded in a strange land.
