Hasdrubal Gisco or Hasdrubal son of Gisco (died 202 BC) was a Carthaginian general who fought against Rome in Iberia (Hispania) and North Africa during the Second Punic War. He should not be confused with Hasdrubal Barca, the brother of Hannibal. In 207 BC Hasdrubal was near Gades in the south of the Iberian peninsula, where he was joined by Mago Barca. In 206 BC Hasdrubal raised fresh troops to increase his army to 70,000 infantry and 4,500 cavalry. However he and Mago were attacked by Scipio Africanus, the son of Publius Scipio, and heavily defeated at the Battle of Ilipa.
