**Espasa-Calpe** was a Spanish publisher which existed during the 20th century. It was created in 1925,[1] by the union of Editorial Calpe, founded by Nicolás María de Urgoiti in 1918,[2] and Editorial Espasa, founded by [José](/source/Jos%C3%A9_Espasa_Anguera) and Pau Espasa i Anguera in 1860.[3]

The publisher, named Espasa-Calpe, was owned by Papelera Española.[4][5] It became one of the most important publishers in Spain.[6] The publisher later founded the [Enciclopedia Espasa](/source/Enciclopedia_Espasa).[1]
