The Lazaga-class consists of a series of midsize patrol vessels for coastal and Exclusive Zone patrol, built by the Spanish National Bazán shipyards (now Navantia) for the Spanish Navy and the Royal Moroccan Navy. Two of the Spanish units were later transferred to the Colombian Navy.

Based on the German Type 143 (Lürssen FBP-57) vessels, the hull of the first unit was built in Germany and the rest were built in San Fernando, Cádiz, in a similar way to that of the Barceló-class patrol boat, in 1976–77. A second batch of four units was built in 1980-82 for the Moroccan Navy, which were slightly different from the initial units in armament and navigational systems, as they included missile capability (Exocet MM-40), although that was later removed.
