Fernando Macarro Castillo (20 January 1920 in Alconada – 24 November 2016 in Madrid), better known by his pseudonym Marcos Ana, was a Spanish poet and is considered by numerous sources Spain's longest serving political prisoner. Under the Francoist Spain, he was convicted of first degree murder of three people (a priest, a postman and a farmer) at the age of 19 in 1939, crimes he always denied having committed.

He spent 23 years in prison, longer than any other republican combatant,[1] being released in 1961 and exiled in Paris. He told his story in his 2007 publication Ditemi com'è un albero.[2]
