Celin Romero (born November 28, 1936 in Málaga) is a classical guitarist and member of the guitar quartet the Romeros. He is the eldest son of Celedonio Romero,^[1] who in 1957 left Franco's Spain for the United States with his family.

In addition to his busy concert schedule, Romero is Professor of Music and Guitar at the University of California, San Diego.
