Miguel Fernández (born 10 April 1962) is an Argentinian professional golfer.
Fernández was born in Resistencia, Chaco. He worked as a caddy in Chaco, before turning professional in 1980.
Fernández won the Argentine Tour Order of Merit in 1987. He won the Argentine Open in 1987 and 1988, having previously finished second in 1986. In addition to several victories on the Tour de las Americas, he has also been second in the TLA Players Championship in 2003 and 2006.
Fernández played on the European Tour in 1991, finishing 131st on the Order of Merit with a best finish of tied 7th in the Open de Baleares. The same year, he also played in the British Open at Birkdale. Victory in the Panama Masters in 2004, gave him the chance to return to Europe to play on the Challenge Tour. However, he did not manage to repeat that performance, as he failed to register another top 30 finish on his way to 75th on the money list.
Fernández represented Argentina on one occasion in the World Cup, in 1989 in Spain, and came 4th in the individual tournament.
