  The Spanish Intelligence Community (Spanish: Comunidad de Inteligencia Española) is a group of intelligence organizations dependent on the Government of Spain that established themselves as an intelligence community through Law 11/2002. The intelligence community can be divided into three blocks:
  
  * Foreign intelligence: Formed by the National Intelligence Center along with its minor agencies.
  * Domestic intelligence: Formed mainly by the Intelligence Center for Counter-Terrorism and Organized Crime and other minor agencies.
  * Military intelligence: Formed by the Armed Forces Intelligence Center and the agencies of each branch of the Armed Forces.
  
  To all these agencies, must to be added the intelligence agencies from the different police corps of Spain. The Intelligence Community responds directly to the President of the Government of Spain and his Cabinet.
