Sancho Panza (; Spanish: [ˈsantʃo ˈpanθa]) is a fictional character in the novel Don Quixote written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra in 1605. Sancho acts as squire to Don Quixote and provides comments throughout the novel, known as sanchismos, that are a combination of broad humour, ironic Spanish proverbs, and earthy wit. Panza in Spanish means "belly" (cf. English "paunch", Italian pancia, several Italian dialects panza, Portuguese and Galician pança, French panse, Romanian pântec, Catalan panxa).
