Pedro de Heredia is the presumed name of a fencing master who taught young schoolchildren and wrote three manuscripts. The manuscripts do not contain any attributions, but a catalog card from 25 June 1900 attributed one of the manuscripts to Pedro de Heredia for reasons unknown.

The fencing master's manuscripts do not contain a title. In one of the manuscripts, the plates refers to the work as Le Livre des Leçons ("The Book of Lessons"). It is influenced by Girolamo Cavalcabo's Nobilissimo discorso intorno il schermo ("Most Noble Discourse on Defense").

The real Pedro de Heredia was a 17th century Spanish servant of the king at the start of the 17th century. He married in 1618 and pursued a military career in the Netherlands. He was a cavalry captain by 1630, and in 1648, he became the governor of Leau (now Zoutleeuw), Netherlands. It is unlikely that de Heredia was a fencing master based on his position.
