Iberian Peninsula (Hispania)
The Celts in the Iberian peninsula were traditionally thought of as living on the edge of the Celtic world of the La Tène culture that defined classical Iron Age Celts. Earlier migrations were Hallstatt in culture and later came La Tène influenced peoples. Celtic or (Indo-European) Pre-Celtic cultures and populations existed in great numbers and Iberia experienced one of the highest levels of Celtic settlement in all of Europe. They dwelt in northern, central and western regions of Iberian Peninsula, but also in several southern regions. The Roman province of Hispania included both Celtic speaking and non-Celtic speaking tribes. Some closely fit the concept of a tribe. Others are confederations or even unions of tribes.

- Galli (tribe) – along Gallicus (Gállego) river banks, see place names (toponyms) like Forum Gallorum, Gallur, a different tribe from the Suessetani; may have been a tribe related to the Galli (Gauls) and not to the Hispano-Celts/Iberian Celts.
- Volciani – may have been related to the Volcae, located north of the Iberus (Ebro) river but not very precisely; may have been a tribe related to the Galli (Gauls) and not to the Hispano-Celts/Iberian Celts.
- Lusitanians (Lusitani/Bellitani) – Portugal south of the Douro River and north of Tagus River, and northwestern Extremadura (Spain). Currently, the Lusitanians are not considered a Celtic group; their language does not meet the accepted criteria for celticity and the physical evidence supporting a Celtic culture is not clear. Attempts to classify the language have also pointed at an Italic origin.[6] The Lusitanians have also been identified as being a pre-Celtic Indo-European speaking Iberian culture closely related to the neighbouring Vettones tribal confederation.[5] However, under their controversial theory of Celtic originating in Iberia, John T Koch and Barry Cunliffe have proposed a para-Celtic identity for the Lusitanian language and culture.

- Turdetani – Today's Western Andalucia (Hispania Baetica), Baetis (Guadalquivir) River valley and basin, Marianus Mons (Sierra Morena), some consider them Celtic.,[7] may have been Pre-Celtic Indo-European people as the Lusitani and Vettones, (also may have been a non-Indo-European people related to the Iberians, but not the same people), (tribal confederation but with a much more centralized power, may have formed an early form of Kingdom or a Proto-civilisation, see Tartessos)
