Carmen Luna Alcázar (31 August 1888 - 18 September 1936) was a Spanish feminist and anarchist executed by Francoist forces.
From Utrera in the region of Andalusia, Spain, she worked as a fruit and vegetable vendor. Luna was an example of the nascent Republican feminism.
A Republican and an anarchist, she was concerned about injustices committed by the agrarian oligarchy.
From her stall, she encouraged others in her community to make their voices heard and be politically active.
When the Second Republic was proclaimed, she took to the streets of Utrera to with a Republican flag.
After the July 1936 military uprising in Seville, events quickly reached her hometown and sent Luna into hiding with her family.
While later escaping, she decided to return because of her husband's poor health.
Luna was subsequently captured and tortured, and paraded through town.
She was then executed on 18 September 1936. In 2019, a lookout near Parque del Muro in her home town of Utrera in Andalusia was renamed in Luna's honor.
