The Royal Artillery Factory of La Cavada (Spanish: Real Fábrica de Artillería de La Cavada) was an artillery foundry at La Cavada (Riotuerto) in Cantabria, Northern Spain.

A canon produced at the foundry on display at what is now a museum on the site.

The foundry was established in 1622 by Jean Curtius with the support of Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares and became fully operational 15 years later.^[1] Between 1637 and 1835 the facility was responsible for the production of more than 26,000 cannons for ships and fortresses throughout the Spanish Empire.^[2]

It closed after the defeat of the Spanish at the Battle of Trafalgar.^[2]
