Blanca Fernanda de la Cerda y Lara (c. 1317 – 1347) was a Spanish noblewoman.

She was the daughter of Fernando de la Cerda (1275–1322) and Juana Núñez de Lara, called "la Palomilla". On her father's side she was a granddaughter of Princess Blanche of France and therefore a great-granddaughter of King Louis IX (St. Louis) and Marguerite of Provence.

Blanca was the second wife of Juan Manuel, Duke of Peñafiel (1282–1349), a member of the junior branch of the Castilian royal house. Their daughter Juana Manuel of Castile married the (illegitimate) Henry II of Castile and became Queen consort of Castile.

Blanca Fernanda de la Cerda was a direct matrilineal ancestor of Queen Victoria and many other European nobles.
