Pablo Álvaro (9th century) was a knight of Jewish ancestry from Córdoba, Spain who converted to Catholicism.
In 840, Álvaro began a correspondence with the former Bishop Bodo, a Christian convert to Judaism, wherein each tried to convince the other to return to their old faith. Many of their letters have been preserved.
