USAGov en Español (formerly GobiernoUSA.gov) is the official portal of the United States Government in Spanish. It is the sister site of USA.gov, the official portal of the U.S. Government in English.

USAGov en Español provides official U.S. Government information and services in Spanish in a user-friendly way. It gives Spanish speakers access to government information and services, original content, email and social media channels.

It is not a direct translation of USA.gov, but is rather adapted to address the information needs of Spanish speakers. It does public outreach as well as community collaboration.

During natural disasters, USAGov en Español provides U.S. government information for Spanish speakers. In 2005, the portal aggregated official information in Spanish after Hurricane Katrina, offering information about federal and state benefits as well as assistance programs for disaster victims. The site adopted a similar response during the 2007 Southern California wildfires, which burned more than 1,500 homes.

USAGov en Español is part of the U.S. General Services Administration.
