            Si Ferdinand Magellan ay ipinanganak noong 1480 sa Porte de la Barca, Portugal.  Ang pangalan niya sa Portuguese ay Fernao de Magallanes.

            Si Magellan ang siyang namuno ng unang ekspidisyon upang patunayan na ang mundo ay bilog sa pamamagitan ng paglalakbay mula kanluran patungong silangan.

            Siya ang nakatuklas sa Pilipinas, isang bayang sagana sa mga pampalasa sa pagkain.  Siya rin ang nagsimula ng pananakop ng Espanya sa Pilipinas at nagpalaganap ng kristiyanismo ditto.

            Namatay si Magellan sa kamay ni Lapu-lapu noong ika-27 ng Abril 1521 sa Mactan, kung saan naganap ang isang madugong paghaharap ng mga Pilipino at Kastila.
