El Cid (1044–1099) was a Spanish nobleman and military leader. His story of his military service under King Sancho of Castille, as well as his exile to the Moorish lands, and his eventual death, are all depicted in the El Cid campaign in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors.

Template:Heroes Infobox (Age of Empires II)In the game, El Cid is an infantry hero found in the El Cid campaign and in the Scenario Editor. He is displayed as a Champion. As a hero, he cannot be converted and can regenerate health (since The Conquerors). Later in the campaign, El Cid becomes a cavalry unit renamed El Cid Campeador in the shape similar to a Knight with a lance. Both units are key units in the El Cid campaign and are must-survive units.
