Estevanico (–1539), Esteban de Dorantes and Estevanico the Moor, was the first African and person to explore North America and one of the last four survivors of the Narváez expedition.
Little is known about Estevanico's background but contemporary accounts described him as a "negro alárabe" or "Arabic-speaking black man" native to Azemmour, Morocco. In 1522, he was sold as a slave to the Spanish nobleman Andrés Dorantes de Carranza in the Portuguese-controlled Moroccan town of Azemmour.
