Francisco Gamborena Hernandorena, also known as Patxi Hernandorena (14 March 1901 – 30 July 1982), was a Spanish footballer who played as a midfielder.
He spent his entire club career from 1915 to 1934 with Real Unión in his hometown of Irún in the Basque Country, winning the Copa del Rey in 1924 and 1927.
Gamborena made his international debut for Spain on 9 October 1921 in a 2–0 home friendly win over Belgium in Bilbao's Estadio San Mamés.
