The Batallón Vasco Español (Spanish for Basque Spanish Battalion) was a Spanish right-wing paramilitary group active from 1975 to 1981, primarily in Iparralde, the French North-Eastern part of the Basque country. The BVE employed violence against Basque separatist violent groups, particularly ETA, seeking to decrease the organization's ability to attack Spanish citizens and facilities.
