Elías Fernández y Albano (1845 - September 6, 1910) was a Chilean politician, who was vicepresident of Chile in from August 6, 1910 until his death.
He was born in Santiago de Chile, the son of Juan de Dios Fernández y Gana and of María del Pilar Albano Martínez de Vergara. He studied at the Instituto Nacional and later graduated as a lawyer from the Universidad de Chile. He was accepted to the bar on May 18, 1869. On August 16, 1871, he married Mercedes Barañao Ochagavía.
He was elected Deputy for Lontué in 1885 and reelected in 1891. In 1894 he was elected for the Talca, Curepto and Lontué district. Fernández was twice Minister of Industry and Public Works under President Jorge Montt (1894-1896); Minister of War and Navy (1896-97), Finance (1897) and Interior (1899-1900) under Federico Errázuriz Echaurren, and again minister of Interior with Germán Riesco (1902-1903).
In 1910, President Pedro Montt, seriously ill, took a leave of absence and moved to Germany to cure, and Fernández, being the Minister of Interior, succeeded him as vicepresident. Fernández, however, caught a cold during Montt's funeral, which soon turned into pulmony, causing him to die of heart failure in Santiago de Chile after only ten days of government.
