Fabián Peña González (born June 19, 1973 in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico) is a football midfielder who currently plays for Club América in the Mexican First Division.

A product of the UANL Tigres youth system, Peña spent a total of six years at the Monterrey club before a move to Mexico City based Necaxa at the turn of the 21st century. After a brief return to Monterrey (this time with UANL Tigres' chief rivals - CF Monterrey) in 2002, Peña returned to Necaxa, which had since found a new home in Aguascalientes. In 2006, the 33 year-old made a high profile move to Necaxa's sister club, Club América. Peña was able to join the ten-time league champion side prior to the Apertura 2006 season due to the departures of midfielders Pável Pardo and Francisco Torres to Germany's VfB Stuttgart and Santos Laguna, respectively.
